4. Uninstallation Verification

Check that the installation directory specified in the installer has been completely removed. If the user executes the uninstaller directly in the uninstaller directory, then the installation directory and the uninstaller directory can remain as empty directories. This is normal, so delete them manually.

Files and directories added after the installation are not automatically deleted. To delete those files and directories, the user must manually delete them.
