Perhaps this could be fleshed out to avoid issues with sudo as done in the Remove2011 project: https://github.com/pbowden-msft/Remove2011/blob/master/Remove2011#L238

function RemoveUserComponent {
	FUNCPATH="$1"
	FUNCTEXT="$2"
	LogMessage "In function 'RemoveUserComponent with arguments $FUNCPATH and $FUNCTEXT'"
	for u in `ls /Users`; do
		FULLPATH="/Users/$u/$FUNCPATH"
		$(sudo rm -r -f $FULLPATH)
	done
}

Also, this fork seems like it solves a lot of the issues:

Hey @radusuciu,

WAAAAY late to the party. Needed my / @pirafrank's script again for work and went down the rabbit hole of refactoring the last version I posted. Now pkgutil actually forgets PLISTs (fixed incorrect operator), array that pkgutil uses is now dynamic instead of a fixed list, /Applications are now correctly removed due to quirky .app extension behavior (directories vs. files), and lastly, all echo[es] calling array items have been replaced with printf to capture all the output instead of the first line.

Hope you find that useful. Pull requests welcome!

Thanks for the notes @pythoninthegrass!

To be honest, I forget why I was even looking at this in the first place 🎈

You're welcome, @radusuciu! Stealing that red balloon emoji -- gonna work its way into Slack convos somehow.
