Quick question about The GIMP

I'm trying to get into web design, I'm looking at pursuing it as a career. Long story short, I had downloaded The GIMP to use for a short period of time until I could get my Adobe software. When I downloaded The GIMP, I noticed that it created a couple folders and a file this usernames folder. I then noticed that when I uninstalled The GIMP, these folders and files were not deleted. What I'm wanting to do now is try to obtain some sort of list of files and folders so I can come along behind the uninstaller and "clean up" a bit. I'm sort of OCD about my computer file system and so forth, especially considering it's brand new. I don't want it cluttered up with a bunch of crap from programs that I don't even have anymore. Can anyone help me clean up this mess? The things that I've found as far as GIMP goes after the uninstall is the .gimp-2.4, the .thumbnails folder and the .recently-used.xbel. Is there anything left that you know of?

 

Most programs will leave behind program folders. Sometimes they are empty and sometimes not. I have been using Revo (free) to uninstall everything. It cleans out left over registry entries and program folders that the original uninstaller will leave behind. These left over files are normally safe to manually delete.

Download Revo Uninstaller

• Go in to Revo, right click what you want to uninstall and choose Uninstall.
• Next choose Advanced Mode
• This will launch the programs built in uninstaller and go through the normal uninstall process.
• Once complete: In Revo Uninstaller click Next and Revo will scan the registry for leftovers.
  • This scan can take several seconds.
• Once the results are shown look at each one to ensure they are all related to the program that was uninstalled.
• Choose Select All then click Delete
• Click Next and Revo will scan for any files or folders that were not removed.
• If any files/folders are found choose Select all > Delete

 

Thanks. I'm sure that will come in very handy in the future.
