Default Deleting Programs

I am a Mac user, new to Windows.

I removed Firefox from Windows XP Home by using the Add or Remove
Programs control panel.

Afterward, when I do a search for Firefox, I come up with three
folders: Components, Defaults, and Plugins.

May I just right click on these and delete them?

Why are they not deleted by the Add or Remove Programs control panel?

Is there some Program I could download, as there is for the Mac, that
will, when you use it to delete a program, safely delete every file
associated with that program?

Many thanks,
Carl



Hi Carl:

I use REVO uninstaller
http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_..._download.html

As far as I kinow, it does exacrly that.
If I'm wrong (and I'm no expert) I'm sure someone will soon set me straight.

Cheers!
