Not sure which discussion this should be in.....I had the application installed on my computer in the E: drive, removed the application and it uninstalled all programs from my E: drive, including steam and my library of games. :x

The uninstaller will not normally remove anything but the Folding application and its files. However, you did have it installed in a custom location. Which version of the application did you have installed, and did you use the supplied uninstaller?

The installer warns against putting the program and the data in one folder, as the uninstaller will delete the entire folder where the program is installed.

There is a feature enhancement ticket to prevent the uninstaller from doing this, and to do a more graceful and surgical uninstall.

I don't know which version I had, I can't find out now either unfortunately. I just uninstalled it through add/remove programs.
