iOS App Deletion: What Remains?

To my knowledge, when deleting an application, the only remnants of it that can be left behind are Keychain related, right?

I'm not talking about at the hardware level where bits aren't being zeroed out, but at the software level.

If I do a delete/fresh install of an application, the only thing that can physically be left behind by the old application is Keychain stuff, right?

From my experience, you are right, only the keychain remains. If your app supports iCloud key value stores, I would imagine that data would remain on the iCloud servers. But any databases, files, additional plists, values in NSUserDefaults, would all be wiped away.
