Uninstaller for Flash Player do not remove Control Panel Flash Player (32-Bit): still available

Hello at all,

we detected that the uninstaller do not remove following files:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\FlashPlayerApp.exe

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl

Normally the Microsoft KB4577586 removes it, but in scenario e.g.:

- KB4577586 installed on machine in Oktober 2020

- Installed Update install_flash_player_32.0.0.465_plugin.msi in November 2020

=> Cause Flash player Plug-ins were still installed

The Adobe Flash Player Plug-In Update re-installed these files.

The Uninstaller which is described there:

https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

do not delete this files and at Control Panel the entry:

Flash Player (32-Bit)

still exist.

Microsoft confirmed that's not a Microsoft related topic, rather Adobe related.

Adobe doesn't seems not be able to create a simply query during uninstall, if KB4577586 is on the machine installed and if yes, delete that files, it seems like Adobe builds rocket science software uninstaller..

Microsoft confirmed, that's possible to delete files as soon as KB4577586 has been installed, it will not results in problems like detecting broken OS files with SFC.exe or others.

May this helps others to decide, if it's save to delete the control panel files inside C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64.

Any may Adobe correct this error or describes that this files can be deleted manually as soon as KB installed on it's official Web page.

Kind regards
