What files are you seeing left behind? I can try to remove them explicitly during uninstall.

Hey, I added a PNG with the remaining files.

Maybe you force the removal of 
.../KDiff3/bin/*
.../KDiff3/bin
.../KDiff3/

Thanks!

Comment 4 michael 2022-11-25 21:52:06 UTC 
Thanks for that. These seem to be files related to contextual menu extension which may remain loaded until reboot. So the installer should be updated to schedule them for removal at that time if they are still in use.
