Files left behind after uninstalling Windows 11 applications require cleaning up

After uninstalling applications, residual files often remain in locations like AppData. It is recommended that the system or app store should automatically clean these up during the uninstallation process to avoid the need for users to delete them manually.

    You're right on point about the importance of cleaning up residual files after uninstalling applications. This is a common issue that can cause clutter and potentially lead to problems with future software installations or system performance.
