Hello!
After running the setup program in "uninstall" mode, it seems
everything is left behind. That is nothing seemingly was deleted. Also
when I manually go ahead and try to delete the contents of the folder,
it gets hung up on the devices folder. Especially the one marked null,
and even the thing created by the init functions. And seemingly as
well the folder items inside it as well.

Are there any suggestions from the group for a go around against this one?

If anyone is interested, I am trying to remove the folder to make room
available for installing everything for building stuff for Windows
Embedded.
