    Description

      If a program was installed to a privileged location (e.g. c:\Program Files) the uninstaller removes the entire contents of the directory, but not the program directory itself (if removing of root directory needs admin privileges).

      The program was installed to c:\program files (x86)\vendor\product,
      after uninstall the c:\program files (x86)\vendor directory was not removed, even it was empty.

      If the program is installed to a non privileged location (e.g. c:\users\username\vendor\product) the directory vendor was removed after uninstallation.
