I gotcha, I figured I didn't need a guid because the intent was to
remove unmanaged files.  

I'm still having a couple of issues, however.  I've tried several
combinations of the code below.  

If I use the RemoveFile block, it succeeds.
If I use the RemoveFolder block, nothing happens.
If I uncomment the Condition element, it fails to delete anything in
either case.  I'm guessing this means the property isn't getting passed
correctly?

<Component Id="Comp_RemoveAllFiles" Guid="xxxxxxxx">
        <!--<Condition>REMOVEALLFILES</Condition>-->
        <!--
        <RemoveFolder   Id="RemoveRootFolder"
                                        On="uninstall"/>
        -->
        <RemoveFile             Id="RemoveRootFiles"
                                        On="uninstall"
                                        Name="*"/>
                                        
</Component>
