If a user uninstalls an app from his phone, which data is explicitly deleted?

I know that preferences are deleted. What about files on the sd card and about databases created by this app?

If the data on the sd card is not deleted how can I avoid cluttering the users phone if I write larger amounts of data, like images on the sd card?
