Hey @stefansjfw
Sorry didn't see this till now. Unfortunately I did not take note of them, and I've refrained from updating in case it happens again (it was a pain to resolve and I just don't have the time at the moment to deal with it).
Hopefully it was a weird one-off and there was no issue so I suppose this request can be ignored.
The next time I update and if it happens again, I'll take note of the items left behind.
Keep up the good work!
When troubleshooting issue #34148 "The Icon of Awake Is Gone" in comment https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/34148#issuecomment-2287985657 I noticed the uninstaller does not remove:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys
.
%USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Microsoft/PowerToys
'{0}\PowerToys' -f [Environment]::GetFolderPath('MyDocuments')
<- PowerShell
Here an uninstall did not solve the problem of the Awake tray icon not showing. I had to manually delete a file the uninstaller did not remove (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\Awake\settings.json
).
Edit: Machine installer also seems to leave behind scheduled task folder "PowerToys". Can be found in %windir%\System32\Tasks
.
Description of the new feature / enhancement
I recently had an issue that required me to do a thorough uninstall (a simple uninstall did not resolve the issue) of Powertoys to resolve (see issue here).
Would be nice to be able to do a clean uninstall via an uninstaller to make sure the uninstall is as thorough as possible.
Scenario when this would be used?
When needing to do a clean re-install of Powertoys
