Does your application run without elevation, but still write to the program files folder? If so you need to fix your application; its writes are being redirected to the hidden folder you speak of, and the installation knows nothing about it.
Similarly if these files are intentionally created by your application instead of the installation, you will need to teach the installation about them (perhaps via the RemoveFile table), or accept that they are left behind. I suggest the latter, as only the files for the current user can be removed at uninstall.
