Why is the program data folder always items that I already deleted?

Hello world

I'm just looking through my files and discovered programs I already deleted months ago for always being in the program data folder, one of the files contain still 159 MB of data by blizzard, I released the disk space and defragged my computer several times since the game has been removed.

So why is it?  If it's because the folder is hidden, why put non-essential data in there games so it cannot be deleted surely he isn't supposed to lose memory everything is there a reason I just can't think.

I can't speak for what is why specifically uninstall the Blizzard was incomplete, but it was probably caused by the data directory containing the files generated by the users. Generally, uninstall programs will remove anything that program install utility created, but the files generated by the user and possibly some registry entries are left for manual removal. I guess this is done in the belief that you can be uninstalled in preparation for a reinstallation of the software and do not want to lose the data you created.

A suggestion I can offer is to use Revo Uninstaller. There is a Freeware and a (paid) professional version. The Freeware edition is expected to be more than enough for your needs. The software quickly and completely uninstall the software that won't leave your computer and will ask you if you want to remove the common files (.) Dll, etc.), the entries in registry and files generated by the user without having to look yourself.

Download Revo Uninstaller
