I don't think you are supposed to worry about files from the user .config directory. They are not part of the installation, and, as you should not install things in $XDG_*_HOME, you should leave it alone on uninstall.
These files should be small, and if the user changes his mind and installs the application again, he will have the settings and status back. If you are concerned about the ability to reset configuration to defaults, just offer the option as part of your settings page.
