Is this scan a false alarm? From what I understand, it seems like a quick workaround, but could you clarify what it really is? Even though I removed the folder, it still keeps appearing.
In addition to removing the folder and any related files, also clear the registry. I use CCleaner for two main reasons. First, it empties the trash bin, which is obvious. Second, it helps remove any leftover or unrelated registry entries. After handling those steps, the next best action is to restart your machine. This should ensure that all remnants are fully cleared from the system. Good luck and let me know if you managed everything properly.
I haven't come across Bleachbit before, but if it meets your needs, it's fine. I was just checking if cleaning up the registry after removing software is really important because leftover files can cause issues and slow things down over time. When you remove something, make sure to fully delete it.
