The NSIS uninstaller leaves behind a couple of directories on uninstall
*** Bug 346342 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Depends on: 349551
The patch in bug 349551 fixes this. If there is a file or directory added by something other than software update or the installer it will still get left behind since that is the responsibility of the application that added it.

Robert, is that also fixed for files which are in use while running the installer? It's still a problem for the installer so the uninstaller should also be affected, right? 
No and that would be a separate bug than this one which addressed leaving behind directories.
