In Windows app settings, the "reset" button doesn't actually reset the app

I'm on the Windows Store version (MSIX, I believe), and I learned recently that the "Reset" button doesn't work the way it should. When you hit the reset button, all application context should be deleted, including any saved accounts, vaults, etc. This includes the %appdata%/Local and %appdata%/Roaming folders.

To get to the Reset button, open Windows settings > Apps > Installed apps > 1Password. Scroll down until you see the button.

Actual result: Some things, like the %appdata% folders, are not deleted. Importantly, the %appdata%/Local folder is not deleted.

    Seems like the edit button is missing; to clarify, these are the two folders that are not deleted, but should be when hitting "Reset":

    %appdata%/Local/1Password
    %appdata%/Roaming/1Password
