while uninstalling any app from android phone..It provides an option "clear data" I think doing it would automatically remove your datas if you have created it through code.

The option "clear data" clears the internal memory associated to the application not the external. – Richa Laad Aug 01 '12 at 06:43

Please check link http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesInternal

you save data folder: /Android/data//cache/ The is your Java-style package name, such as "com.example.android.app".

When uninstall application, data clear.
