Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller 34.0.0.105

Over on Techspot they have posted Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller 34.0.0.105

In the "how to use this software" section there was this (its the "Copy/Run" at the very bottom that I'm concerned about):

Download the uninstaller for Flash Player The Flash Player uninstaller executes on both 64-bit and 32-bit version of the Windows operating systems. Save the file in a location where you can find it easily after you restart your computer. For example, save it on your Windows desktop.

Exit all browsers and other programs that use Flash


The uninstaller does not work if any programs that use Flash are running on your computer.

• Look at the taskbar. If the taskbar contains program icons for a browser or for a game that uses Flash, right-click each icon and choose Close. This example shows a browser in the taskbar:
• Look at the icons in the system tray for programs that run in the background. Examples include AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and games that use Flash (any file with a name that ends in .swf). If you see such an icon, right-click the icon and click Exit, as shown in this example:

Run the uninstaller

• Double-click the icon of the uninstaller that downloaded to your computer.
• Follow the prompts. If you see the message "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?," click Yes.
• Delete Flash Player files and folders.
  
  • Click Start > Run.
  • Copy and paste the following and click OK.
  • C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
  • Delete all the files in this folder.
  • Follow step 1 to step 3 for the following:
    
    • C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    • %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
    • %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player

I believe that in the reading I've done here on this forum I've seen a number of times the warning . . . Never touch/add/remove anything from the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder. So it was that one that I was questioning.

If Adobe Flash Player has been uninstalled it should be possible, I removed 2 files without error and 1 was the Control Panel entry. Deleting a necessary file of an installed program can result in an error message that it can't be done. Both files' names started with Flash, one was an .exe and the other a .dll.
