Uninstalled but still seem to have a lot of Quicken files on my computer?

Question

We have been having many issues with quicken hanging up, just getting a white screen when trying to open it, suddenly shutting down, etc.  So I did an uninstall.  It seems that there are still a lot of Quicken files in a folder on my expansion drive.  The case might be that Quicken was installed on both my C drive at one time and then also on my expansion drive (if that is possible??).  I am not a computer expert and could have certainly screwed it up.  How do I get the Quicken files off my expansion drive?   I am not referring to the QDF data or Backup files.  I am referring to files in a folder titled Quicken with names such as: alert.dll, dbghelp.dll, deluxe2008 icon file, etc etc.  Can I just delete this whole folder before I reinstall?

Thank you Chris_QPW.  We are Quicken subscription users now, but have been using Quicken for a very loooooong time way before it became subscription.  So who knows what old files are lurking out there on our computer.

Just noticed deluxe2008, what version of Quicken are you talking about?  The above folders are for Quicken Subscription, for Quicken 2017 and below they would be the ones I have listed on this web page:

Yes, you can.  Beside the files it puts in C:\Program Files (x86)\Quicken  (C: will be the disk that you installed on), it also stores configuration files in the following folders. C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Quicken, and C:\ProgramData\Quicken.
