Leftovers still present on the system #561

Open yashgorana opened 7 months ago

yashgorana commented 7 months ago

BCUninstaller doesn't detect and remove leftover app directories in %PROGRAMDATA% %APPDATA% or dot-folders in home directory. Example:

After uninstalling GOG Galaxy through BCU I can still find the following leftover directories:
- %PROGRAMDATA%/GOG.com
- %LOCALAPPDATA%/GOG.com
Removing VS Code does not remove ~/.vscode directory. Same for Docker Desktop ~/.docker

OS: Windows 11 22621 BCU Version: 5.7

hi @yashgorana did you check the "leftover removal" dialog and enable "show questionable" things?

like shown in screenshot here:

你好@yashgorana 您是否檢查了「剩餘物清除」？對話框並啟用“顯示有問題”事物？

就像這裡的螢幕截圖所示：

估計大小不考慮$LOCALAPPDATA目錄？ #557（評論）

That ...

The remaining content exists in the "cannot be deleted without system administrator rights" ...

What to do about this problem?

The remaining content exists in the "cannot be deleted without system administrator rights" ...

see this:

BCU already runs as admin only, and all commands/applications it runs also run as admin as a result. There's no easy way to gain even higher privileges ... - @ Klocman at https://github.com/Klocman/Bulk-Crap-Uninstaller/issues/447#issuecomment-1428530849
