Install/uninstall: allow clean installation (aka fully remove any previous installations)

[PaulNo]

To avoid some errors occurring during upgrade or even installation, it would be great  to add an option in the installer to go with a fresh installation (remove any previous Alteryx Designer).

If selected, option would:

- Warn users that everything Alteryx related is going to be deleted

- Generate a log of what is going to be removed

- Rename folders and registry keys listed there: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer/Complete-Uninstall-of-Alteryx-Designer/ta-p/402897

(rename instead of delete to avoid "bad surprises")

A similar option could exist when one would like to uninstall Alteryx Designer.

This would remove the frustration of having to rely on a "white knight" when something happens in the middle of an upgrade or an installation.

Thanks,
