Is one of the reasons I still debate going back to linux from time to time. Windows is never really clean. With linux a simple command in the terminal 100% cleans out whatever package, no leftovers.
I prefer Windows integration with my Windows phone rather than the hodge podge between linux and android through Google else I would go back in a heartbeat :/
Don't kid yourself. There's all kinds of "messy" in Linux. Yes, most apps have their own configurations, but check out your /etc directory after a while, it's filled with config files for apps you don't use anymore. To be sure, you can simply delete them, but Windows is actually making a lot of inroads here.
Universal apps are now completely isolated. When you remove a Universal App, it's gone, including all configuration and support files.
Does it mean I should stop fighting with the leftovers, such as, for instance, the shared file folder of Cyberlink DVD 10? Even if I suspected that might have collided with Windows DVD Player? A funny thing is that iObit Uninstaller apparently removed that folder, i.e. it is no longer present on its list of programs, but on the Windows list it is still present, and when I try to delete it, I get a message that I should take ownership of the folder. In connection with this, I came across the following instructions Windows 8: Take Ownership Of Files Change Folder Permissions and am wondering, first, would it work for Windows 10, and, second, would it be safe to try?
