The files in /home/$USER (and /var) should be preserved. Deinstalls may
be part of an upgrade process, vs permanent removal, and some of these
files contain usage statistics needed by sysadmins for reporting.
I would suggest the following deinstall message:
"You may remove /home/$USER if you are no longer using SLURM."
Thanks,
JB
