I also encountered the same problem . But I had
to resort to the CA to delete the temporary subdirectories.

主题: Re: [WiX-users] Remove folder while uninstalling
application
Sorry for late
reply...
Files are created under "Program Files".
Thing is that actually directories and files are created inside this
problematic directory. So after some time my initial directory structure:
- dir1
- dir1.1
- dir1.2
- dir1.2.1
- dir1.3
...
looks like this (for example):
- dir1
- dir1.1
- dir1.2
- dir1.2.1
- tmpdir1
- tempfile1.1
- tempfile1.2
- tmpdir2
- tempfile2.1
- dir1.3
...
The problem is that directory "dir1.2.1" include new directories and
files inside them. I really don't know how to use element <RemoveFile> to
delete directory "dir1.2.1" (while uninstall) with all its
subdirectories and files. Is it possible to recursively delete directory
structure while uninstall?
Thanks,
Voranc
