Believe me when I say that the Add/Remove Programs wizard is doing
exactly what I described: it runs the UninstallString from the
registry.  It CAN'T do anything else.  It doesn't know which folders to
delete.  Only the uninstall app knows that.

You probably had extra files in the folder that weren't installed by the
installer.  Most uninstall apps will not delete the root folder if it
contains files that were created after installation time.
