    After uninstalling a programme you no longer use or want,is it safe to delete the programme folder and contents from C:\Program Files?

    Usually. Move it to the recycle bin first, just in case.

    It should be fine, as seamus said move to recycle bin and restart. Its unlikely that Windows should leave any vital files in the folder.

    yeah they're generally just config files that are used by the software to store settings for your machine shoulf you ever reinstall. For example I've noticed that some games seem remember the serial no. after a reinstall without deleting these files.
