INI File tip for Uninstall
After struggling trying to figure out why uninstall wouldn't remove an INI file, I finally realized that I needed to install a blank INI text file in addition to having the component create the INI file if I wanted it to be deleted.
Hope this prevents others from struggling to understand this.

Hi DataAnalyzer,
Did "Add File Removal" help?.In Files and Folders view ,on right pane you can add file as well you can remove file.On adding file removal you can choose whether during installation/un-installation/both.This way it can help you to do proper cleanup
Hope you have that file as component
Thanks,
Jenifer
