re: System files [left] over after uninstall Wednesday, February 14, 2007 at 3:30 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by gewg_ (4444 messages posted) |I recently uninstalled software[...] |in 'application data'[...]there [are] .DLL files, and .BAK type files, and few more. |[...]is it safe to delete the folder? | s.jester *.BAK is obviously junk. Stuff in C:\WINDOWS\Application Data is specific to an app. Anything those lousy uninstallers leave behind can be killed off. You can always test to see if a file is necessary: Rename the file and see what happens. If adding a hyphen to the beginning of the name results in no errors thrown for a week or so after you've done it, that's a good indication the file is just wasted HDD space.
