uninstall deletes everything including all save games

uninstalled the game after it became unresponsive and reinstalled this fixed it. it however deleted all my save games too, save games should be in an easy to reach place e.g. like java edition or within the c:\users@s\savedgames for example. somewhere thats not in with the main program files hidden way away with a chance to backup the folder at least, had no warning it would delete everything with no option to keep saves at all.
