10 I'd like to remove a few things myself.  Some things such as file system
11 mount points and such gives clues as to what they contain.  I noticed a
12 couple other things I'd rather not include.

14 I noticed it builds a directory inside /root/HW_PROBE/LATEST/.  I used
15 the command hw-probe-1.4-129-x86_64.AppImage -all but left off the
16 upload part.  It collected the info but didn't send it yet.  I wonder,
17 can we delete the info from the directory it created and then leave off
18 -all but put -upload and it send only what we didn't delete.  In other
19 words, build the files, remove what we don't want sent and then send
20 what is left.  Do it in three parts instead of one.
21
22 Anyone know if that works?  Anyone who doesn't care what they send mind
23 testing it for us who want to leave out some small amounts of data?

25 Thanks.
