I uninstalled Unity & Visual Studio Community 2019 from my computer (C:\Program File).
But there are still folders on the computer. Can I delete it? I don't want these folders. Will there be problems later?

Folder About Unity

  1. AppData\Roaming\Unity
  2. AppData\Roaming\UnityHub
  3. AppData\Local\Unity
  4. AppData\Local\Unity-Updater
  5. AppData\LocalLow\Unity

Foder About Visual Studio Community 2019 (For Unity)

  1. AppData\Roaming\Visual Studio Setup
  2. AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio
  3. AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
  4. AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio Services
  5. C:\Program File (x86) \ Microsoft Visual Studio

In the future I may install Unity & Visual Studio Community again.
But I'm not sure if deleting these folders will cause the program to stop working

    @kongdev-1133 , thank you for your feedback.
    Usually, it is not recommended to manually delete the installation folders and you can have a look at this: Remove all with InstallCleanup.exe

    You can run the InstallCleanup.exe tool to remove installation files and product information for all installed instances of Visual Studio 2017, Visual Studio 2019, or Visual Studio 2022, use the parameter '-f' to removes the main installation directory, product information, and most other features installed outside the installation directory, that might also be shared with other Visual Studio installations or other products.
