  1. Deleting Folders In AppData


    I asked this question in another subreddit already but I wanted some extra opinions just to be safe.

    So I uninstalled Zoom months ago because I didn’t want to use it on my laptop and I generally didn’t trust it. However, after looking through my laptops folders for other purposes, I noticed that there’s still a Zoom folder in the Roaming Folder under AppData. I’m assuming this was leftover from when I uninstalled, but I digress.

    There’s nothing in the folder other than a text file called “installer”, but I still don’t want it on my computer. Can I delete this folder without worrying about corrupting any data?
