How do I get rid of leftover files after uninstalling software?

Type "%appdata%" into the search box and delete all related files. After deleting all the files, the software is totally removed on your computer. To ensure prompt and through uninstall of a software, you can also use a third-party uninstaller to help.

Does uninstalling remove everything?

Uninstall is removing a program and its associated files from a computer hard drive. The uninstall feature differs from the delete function in that it safely and efficiently removes all associated files, whereas delete only removes part of a program or selected file.

There is not any way to do this. The Inno uninstall engine cannot contain embedded files.

But on the other hand there's no particular need for it to do so either -- you can just install any files that it requires (into a subfolder of the app folder, if you want to keep things tidy).

The only real reason that the setup files are embedded into the installer is that it makes downloads easier. The uninstaller doesn't have that excuse.
