Uninstall entire folder

[grip003]

I have created an application that generates files as it is used. I want the uninstall program to completely remove these as well as the rest of the program. Right now, when the user uninstalls my app, it leaves the install directory along with all generated files. Is there a way to remove the entire install directory without worrying about generated files that were not included with the install package? I am using the Setup and Deployment that comes with VS2003.

I am still having problems with this. Can anyone help?

I believe there is a way to execute scripts during a custom action though I have never done it myself. In this case you will have a script that runs on uninstall that would delete all the files in the install directory.
