As title.

Not sure about how to realize this feature -- generate an exe file to automatically erase data while deleting the app, or add user instructions to README?

If you uninstall this app through an APP Uninstaller (like Clean My Mac, or uninstall in the system APP Center on Windows), the uninstaller will do the job for you.
If you uninstall the APP by remove the APP executable itself directly, then the user data will be left at the place where it originally be.

My personal suggestion is to add a Remove all user data button somewhere in the app. And add some explanation in the README.
The other way round is to instruct the user uninstalling the app using some open source and trust worthy uninstaller, which is not preferable as it may require user to install another APP.
