Does anyone have experience with uninstalling an AIR app's data, that has been downloaded by the app

Question

When running the app first time, it downloads some media (movies, pictures etc.). When uninstalling the app from the Remove programs in the control Panel(windows), the folder remains with the downloaded data. Anyway to completly remove everything ?

The best approach would be to write your own native installer that takes care of this as a post uninstall and also sub launches the AIR uninstaller. If this is active development, you might want to look into AIR 3's new install options. Oliver has a great write up here:
