I confirm (by marking "x" in the [ ] below):

• This is not a troubleshooting question. Troubleshooting questions go here: http://www.mattermost.org/troubleshoot/.
• This doesn't reproduce on web browsers (such as in Chrome). If it does, issue reports go to the Mattermost Server repository.
• I have read contributing guidelines.

@jasonblais Would you provide more detailed info about your observed behavior?

I found some files still existed after uninstalling, so I think the uninstaller incompletely worked.

• If the application is running, it finishes. (ok)
• "Mattermost" is removed from the "Apps and features" list. (ok)
• Some files still exist in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\mattermost. (wrong)
• Start menu shortcut still exists. (wrong)

I just tried and what you described is correct.

Neither 1 or 2 worked for me yesterday (the app continued to run and Mattermost was still listed under "Apps and features") but maybe I didn't perform the uninstallation properly.

Updated the observed behaviour accordingly.
