Sorry I don't, therefore the only thing I can do is pushing this post a little upward :)

@Mikey

AmigaOS software in general do not need a uninstaller, your in control of the system, you delete, change or modify the OS as you need or like, there is no default program folder.

AmigaOS software do NOT install all kind of stuff all over the system.
If you do need to uninstall a program, you simply delete it.

Most software will happy run from the CD ro Floppy disk.

If need yo clean up you check ENVARC: to see if there are any prefs files created for application.
You might save a few kbytes , Some programs install scripts arexx scripts into S:, if program is started on startup then you need to check wbstartup folder and the S:User-startup script, thats all.
A program should never change or touch S:startup-sequence, unless its system patch.

If the application installs a extra font its only useful to keep it.
You might find some installed graphics in sys:prefs/presets, you might find it useful to keep as well.

I doubt there's much 68k software on OS4depot, and I doubt even more he would be using OS4 on A1200

Anyway, generally you don't need an uninstaller, but you can check aminet if there's something like that.

However, you might be interested ingrunch which is a package manager. Of course you cannot install every program with that, but those that you can, you can also uninstall as easily.
