OK to delete application folders after uninstalling?

I have recently used the CC app to uninstall the beta and prerelease version of some apps. The folders for the apps remain, as do some support files and at least one application. The CC app reports they are all uninstalled. Would it bungle anything up if I deleted the folders?

if you're careful, no.  but it's prudent to rename (i like to zip them and precede the current name with an underscore) first.  if there's no problem after a reasonable time, you can safely delete.  if there's a problem, you can easily restore.

 

the above applies to all files/folders, not just adobe's.
