I'm attempting to search for remnants from an uninstall. When I clean temp files, I do the following:

- Disk Cleanup from Prog/acc. etc.
- In search for files from Run/search, I put in *.tmp,*.chk,~*.*
- CCleaner


Is this sufficient or should I be searching elsewhere for program deletions?
I hesitate going to the registry as am not registry knowleable.

Thanks in advance.

most uninstalls leave remnants of files behind. Some uninstallers do a better job of cleaning up than others. i think what you are doing is sufficient enough.
