Yikes. Can you point me to where I can find a .flatpak file to test this with? In other news, your buttons look messed up because you have qt5ct installed (delete it) or you don't have the qqc2-desktop-style frameworks installed (install it). . A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/merge_requests/364 Sent a MR to make sure this never happens, granted it should never happen that we remove information we are not meant to. Please still send us the information Nate requested above. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Yikes.

Created attachment 151692 [details] screenshoot I have downloaded a .flatpak file (not .flatpakref file) and opened with Discover, then it prompted message "xx.xx.xx(flatpak app dns name) is not installed but it still has data present" with a button "Delete settings and user data" , if click that button then Discover will delete the ~/.var folder. I was lucky that I had regular backups of my data so I didn't suffer a huge loss. I think the message is told me that there is already a data directory in my ~/.var/app for the opened .flatpak app, but in fact my ~/.var/app didn't have.The whole prompt and button misled me into thinking it was just deleting the data for a specific flatpak app under ~/.var/app, but then I pressed the button and realized it was deleting the entire ~/.var folder.
