Re: Uninstalling MariaDB 5.2 does not remove everything.

 

An example of "and more":


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-21-2656319016-1596626723-3555400582-1000\Components\7748B6BD67D549653B9F33A6BDE97A51]
"3DC5D27742DD8714EA85F2707228779F"="C:\\Program Files\\MariaDB
5.2\\include\\mysql.h"


A C header file added to my registry when installing a binary?
