Question Revo Uninstaller ques

[Genoess]

Just installed Revo and used it to uninstall a program. I did a scan to find left over registry items and a few were found. The files were shown at the bottom of a folder hierarchy starting with 'My Computer' down to 'MuiCache' which is the folder they are located in.

So my question is what should I delete? Should I just select and delete the specific program files (in this case Honeyview.exe files) only or should I delete the MuiCache folder as well? There is an option to 'Select All' and this selects all folders starting with 'My Computer' all the way down to the files themselves, obviously I shouldn't delete everything.

I'd include a screen shot but for some reason I can't do a screen shot with Revo, strange.

thx mucho

delete as little as possible. from that very base folder look up until it's obvious it is no longer just that specific program.

for instance /programs/games/battleship/data/cache/saves

battleship folder is as high as you'd want to go since the next higher folder, games, would include more than just that single game's left over files. i'd right click the battleship folder and delete it and all subfolders from there.

if you're unsure, then don't delete anything!! it's likely very little only folders and a small data file not taking up much space.

Leftover registry entries and files are harmless. A lot of times the leftover files are configuration files.

But if you really want a tidy drive, delete only the folder the application installed to.
