Describe your issue

There seems to be an inconsistency or bug in how the startup option "Enable Scoop cleanup on launch" is implemented.
When this option is enabled, it successfully clears the download cache in ~/scoop/cache, but it fails to clean up previous versions of installed software (leaving older app directories intact in ~/scoop/apps).
However, when manually clicking the "Run cleanup and clear cache" button under Scoop settings, it successfully removes those older app versions.
It appears that the startup "cleanup" option might either be executing the wrong command (e.g., executing scoop cache rm instead of scoop cleanup), or the scoop cleanup execution on startup is failing silently.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Enable "Enable Scoop cleanup on launch" in UniGetUI settings.
2. Update some Scoop packages so that older version directories are created in ~/scoop/apps/<app_name>/.
3. Restart UniGetUI to let the startup cleanup run automatically.
4. Check the Scoop folders: The download cache is cleared, but the older version directories are still there.
5. Go to UniGetUI settings and click "Run cleanup and clear cache" manually.
6. Check again: Now the older version directories are successfully removed.

Relevant information

Expected behavior:Enable Scoop cleanup on launch" should perform a proper cleanup of previous software versions (using scoop cleanup), just like the manual button does.
Additional context:If this failure to remove old versions on startup is due to background permission/UAC issues, UniGetUI should handle it gracefully, or at least ensure user-level packages are cleaned up successfully.

Additionally, to make this feature more robust, I would like to propose splitting this setting into two separate checkboxes under the Startup Options:

• Clear Scoop download cache on launch (executes scoop cache rm --all)
• Clean up older Scoop app versions on launch (executes scoop cleanup --all)
