A:
This is not a permissions that applications can hold.
It is there for the settings app's "Clear data" button in manage applications. It simply erases all of the data in internal storage associated with the app, bringing it back to its initial install state.

Referred to permission is `CLEAR_APP_USER_DATA`

Alright so it deletes all data associated with the app, but "which" data. For example where is this data located and how does one set to this data path using this application? Or is this referring to all data (SD card/Cache/SQL)

Everything in the application's internal data directory. Nothing on the SD card is touched. (We'll be defining standard places for app data on external storage in the future that does get cleaned up; this is something that is really needed.)
