(Dist) Cleaning the system after uninstalling the product
The uninstallation program leaves some files that can prevent you from reinstalling into the original directory. Delete files and registry entries to clean the machine so that we can reinstall into any directory. If we are not planning to reinstall the product, we do not have to clean the system.
We can reinstall the product without a clean system; however, such an installation creates a coexistence scenario that can prevent you from installing into the original directory.
Cleaning the system means deleting everything from the previous installation, including log files, that are left behind by the uninstallation.
