It's not really a Windows-only thing. Even OSes with proper packaging systems (and even MSI on Windows) will still forget a lot of files e.g. in user's home directories. How do you even decide when do you remove those?
- jolux 5y ago>How do you even decide when do you remove those? I think as a developer you have to take pains to keep them all in one place, and delete them when uninstalling.
- pantulis 5y agoWould you expect that uninstalling any Unix tool, would remove your .rc files in your $HOME?
- jolux 5y agoThat's irrelevant because I create my own rc files, and uninstallers should definitely not delete user-created files. Additionally most software that people install is not Unix tools, and most users have no idea what an rc file is.
