A little-known (and destructive!) feature of Flatpak: you can remove the data leftover from all apps that have been uninstalled with the command "flatpak uninstall --delete-data". By default, your user data is left untouched when you uninstall an app.

Specifically this removes data stored by the app in ~/.var/app/$APP_ID (the default writable location for per-app data) and also resets any overridden permissions.
