Take a look at a verbose log file for uninstall. It will show why the Windows
Installer chose to do what it did.

Subject: [WiX-users] My files are not being removed on uninstall.
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to WiX, but I have an install for my product that works pretty well,
except for one thing: Most of my files are orphaned when uninstalled. I have
one directory full of files that uninstall perfectly fine, but the other
directories of files remain. I have set the KeyPath to "yes" for each
component, but they still remain.
Here is one of my components:
<Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='CastCall' LongName='Casting
Call'>
<Component Id='MainExecutable'
Guid='8F6D773E-F307-468e-91B2-92B740377BE7' KeyPath='yes'>
<File Id='CastingCall' Name='CastCall.exe'
LongName='CastingCall.exe' DiskId='1'
Source='..\Casting Call\bin\Release\CastingCall.exe'
Vital='yes'>
<Shortcut Id="startmenuCastingCall"
Directory="ProgramMenuDir" Name="CastCall"
LongName="Casting Call" WorkingDirectory='INSTALLDIR'
Icon="CastingCall.exe" IconIndex="0" />
<Shortcut Id="desktopCastingCall" Directory="DesktopFolder"
Name="CastCall"
LongName="Casting Call" WorkingDirectory='INSTALLDIR'
Icon="CastingCall.exe" IconIndex="0" />
</File>
<ProgId Id="Character.File" Description="Casting Call
Character file" Advertise="yes"
Icon="CastingCall.exe" IconIndex="0">
<Extension Id="character">
<Verb Id="open" Command="&Open" Sequence="0"
Argument=""%1"" />
</Extension>
</ProgId>
</Component>
Why would the files not remove when uninstalled?
