<createfolder /> creates a folder that MSI hasn't installed. In other words, MSI doesn't track it being there, so it won't remove. Any folder with any subitems won't be removed. It's the same principle as installing a file manually. Is there any reason why you are using create folder rather than specifying it in the directory structure?
