Hi,

     I have created a wix installer for one of our products. I had a few observations during uninstallation step.
     I see that the files created by tool during runtime and which are not installed during the installation process remain intact.
     I cross verified it by creating a few temp files and folders and I see they are not getting deleted. So from the observations it looks like
     Wix will keep a tab of files copied during installation and only those files and folders are getting deleted.  I would like to know if there
    Is a  way to do a clean uninstall i.e deleting all entries of the product from installation path.

Thanks and Regards,
shashikala
