Asking question about Uninstalling Streamlink Twitch GUI app (and it's empty folder) #794
-
Hi, just recently I uninstalled Streamlink Twitch GUI app from my Windows 10 PC. But before I started closing things down I notice that in my C:\Program Files folder, the Streamlink Twitch GUI folder is still there. But this time it's only has "assets" and "bin" within the folder. So my main question is, can I just normally delete this slightly simi-empty Streamlink Twitch GUI folder? I know this is a silly question to be ask, but I just wanted to make sure that all. |

No, it's alright. The uninstaller is supposed to keep track of all application files, but for some reason it doesn't remove the I think I've already found the cause of this. I'll push a fix later to the master branch, but until the next release, when uninstalling, just remove the left over files manually. |
