Even running into this issue a few times, I agree that without the guest definition anymore uvtool better does not remove guessed image names.

I soemtimes hit it if I had "virsh undefine <guest>" to then remember "oh it still has images, :-(".

There could be two things thou:
2. a "uvt-kvm purge <guest>" command that will remove the files it would create for a guest of that name - with big warnings - that would avoid everyone having to learn which paths to look for
1. on uvt-kvm destroy with an undefined guest uvtool should emit a warning why it can't and mention the purge action

Doesn't change anything on the current triage of this, but I came by and wanted to share my idea for it.
