I installed a program which I thought would restore music from my iPod. Anyway it didn't work as advertised (at least for me) and now I want to ensure EVERY trace of it is removed from my computer.
I obviously uninstalled it, but from experience I know that various files linger in the temp directory and perhaps the AppData directory.
Is there anywhere I can get a definitive list of all the places files place configuration files or the like? Basically, I want to delete EVERYTHING (registry entries and configuration entries) for this file.
Thanks!

The program says it searches for leftovers from old uninstalls. Does this mean I don’t need to actually re-install and uninstall? I guess it would be “cleaner” to completely re-install and uninstall.

JK above has given the best advice. An alternate to that would be after you have un-installed and if it's not too far back in time before the install, run system restore, restoring to the time prior to the crap installation.
