Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Is there any specific reason for skipping optional folder from purging configurations? I think it will be good, if it removing the optional configurations.

karthikeyan-manivasagam commentedSaranya, Thank you for your thoughts & contribution.
Yes, can remove the optional configs, Though the idea of the easy_install module is to remove the configurations that gives error when installing Drupal modules and Currently easy_install removes the configurations which are not allowing the installation of Drupal modules. Drupal considers the install-folder's configurations as mandatory on installation, the optional-folder have optional configs. Most of the developers wouldn't like to unset their configurations if it works perfectly without errors on install.
Patches are welcome! if you would like to provide some optional checkbox on purge and uninstall confirmation page which will say "Select the checkbox if you want remove the optional configurations too!"
