Hello,

Sometimes after I uninstall programs it doesn't fully remove folders under C drive. Can I delete it manually?

Cheers!

Hi henry, normally when u uninstall them from the control panel add/remove programs, the drive normally have those leftovers which it did not fully remove. So u can just delete them manually, but some files are also being used by other programs, so just double check in case.

Hi Henry,

Something that you might want to do in the future is most programs come with their own uninstall feature that will take care of the folders and completely uninstall the program. If you go thata route then you will not have to worry about manually deleting files and worrying about which ones if any are being used by other programs. It will let you know if a file is being used by the OS or other programs and give you the option of keeping it or not.

Hope this helps.
