Applite leaves orphaned Homebrew instance after uninstall #45

Originally posted by **Younghart** October 27, 2023 Hi, I installed Applite on a new machine without an existing homebrew installation. Later on, I uninstalled Applite from within the Applite App. Afterwards, I looked in the ~/Library/ Application Support/Applite/homebrew directory, and there still was a full homebrew installation. Does this mean that the deinstallation process leaves the homebrew installation intact and active, even when homebrew was installed by Applite? I think this might be a security risk, especially for those who aren't familiar with package managers.

Hi, this is unintentional. Some paths were incorrect in the delete script, but everything should be correctly removed in the new v1.2.2 update.
