Content
More info on the problem (not Windows specific): if the installation creates a file several levels down a/b/c/file then during removal, only a/b/c is regarded as a candidate for removal; a/b and a are not considered as deletion candidates, and so never deleted, even if empty (apart from subdirectories). IMO in this situation, a and b were created by the installation and so should be removed, unless they contain files not added during installation.
