Will this leave VS2017 installation intact? #82

Will running this uninstaller leave Visual Studio 2017 intact? I recently installed 2017 version, but since I have limited storage on my SSD I would like to delete the VS2015 without affecting VS2017 functionality? Is it allright to use in this case? Thanks.

Any shared products between VS2015 and VS2017 will be removed, and there are quite a few. Please note that this tool is a last resort. Uninstalling VS2015 normally will remove most components without affecting shared products.
