You are trying to remove a directory that does not exist.
Missing folder property: APPLICATIONDATAFOLDER
and you are not creating it as a directory:
<Fragment>
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="Wix example application" />
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Fragment>
Instead searching the registery:
<Property Id="APPLICATIONDATAFOLDER">
<RegistrySearch Key="SOFTWARE\[ManufacturerName]\Me" Root="HKLM"
Type="raw" Id="APPLICATIONDATAFOLDER_REGSEARCH" Name="Path" />
</Property>
<!-- We need to use APPLICATIONFOLDER variable here or RemoveFolderEx
will not remove on "install". -->
<util:RemoveFolderEx On="uninstall"
Property="APPLICATIONDATAFOLDER" />
How do you know that the drive letter will always be h:?
Value="h:\topfolder\middlefolder"
Instead you should be using the WIX Registry Element.
