Uninstallation with leftovers

Q

qazmlp

I installed a package for an application. This application creates
some files(say, some log files and some .xml files) during its usage
at run time. When I uninstall the package, the package does not remove
these files. I was told that, uninstallation can clean only the things
that were created at the time of installation. As these log files are
created during its run time, there is no way of removing these from
the system unless it is done manually.
Is this the case ? If yes, it looks bad to me. Else, kindly suggest a
solution for the same.

Thanks!
