Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayCover/issues/155

Pressing the clear app data button seems to only clear "~/Library/Containers/BUNDLE_ID”, instead of clearing other data related to the app.

For instance:

~ % brew createzap plague        
zap trash: [
  "~/Library/Application Scripts/com.ndemiccreations.plagueinc",
  "~/Library/Caches/com.ndemiccreations.plagueinc",
  "~/Library/Containers/com.ndemiccreations.plagueinc",
  "~/Library/HTTPStorages/com.ndemiccreations.plagueinc",
]

Now pressing the clear app data button.

~ % brew createzap plague
zap trash: [
  "~/Library/Application Scripts/com.ndemiccreations.plagueinc",
  "~/Library/Caches/com.ndemiccreations.plagueinc",
  "~/Library/HTTPStorages/com.ndemiccreations.plagueinc",
]

Another directory that is created for some apps, and it isn’t deleted either is "~/Library/Saved Application State/BUNDLE_ID.savedState"

Otherwise, clear app data might be better to be an implementation of https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayCover/pull/156 + removing all stored users + game assets.
