Description chrigu 2022-09-15 06:16:07 UTC 
Uninstalling through uninstall.exe is incomplete, the folder KDiff3/bin and KDiff3 are not removed.
/bin still contains 15 .dll-files.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDiff3-1.9.6
2. execute uninstall.exe
3. check leftovers in C:\Program Files\KDiff3

OBSERVED RESULT
KDiff3/bin still exists and contains files

EXPECTED RESULT
uninstall removes completely KDiff3

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Win10, Server 2019

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.
