I recently installed a game on Vista Home Premium and after uninstalling it I
noticed that there was alot of files for the game left in the appdata local
folder. I found the folder and it was labeled Ubisoft ( maker of game ) and I
was wondering can I delete this folder? also why are things being left in
this folder and can I stop that in the future ?
Thank you for help
 
It should be safe to delete the Ubisoft folder. You may have to change
permissions on it first, though.
Do not delete \AppData or \Local.

Some programs do not clean up after themselves upon uninstall, or they leave
settings or data files which can be reused if you decide to reinstall the
program.
 
Thank's Dave
I just removed the Ubisoft folder and now I don't have all those lingering
files. I was wondering if the appData file is new to Vista because I didn't
have this with XP?

Thank you again
