Files of combofix left on my computer. I had uninstalled it day before yesterday, but they are here even after uninstallation, were here that day too after uninstallation.

1 Folder Combofix in C:\
Inside it one file NircmdB
A text file Combofix in C:\
A file called combofix.exe-1c1768f9.pf in prefetch folder.
And a shortcut in recent folder to text file which is deleted called combofix-quarantined-files.

I dont know, maybe others but these are the visible ones.

Most uninstallers will leave traces behind, they are harmless. Deleting files and folders haphazardly can lead to problems. You can delete those files/folders you listed. I would leave the prefetch directory alone. Windows will manage cleaning out those files on its own.
