Windows 10: How to find files created by a program but left behind after uninstallation?

My child installed Roblox on our Windows 11 desktop and even after I uninstalled it I found that there seems to be an extra 6 GB of files. I don't know where or what those file names are but I know from looking at the hard drive that there is only 14 GB left in free space. A few days ago I noticed there was 22 GB of free space left. Even after uninstalling Roblox it seems to have left some files behind. How to find files created by a program but left behind after uninstallation?

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

Uninstalling a program

Use Revouninstaller to remove it:

You can find Revo Uninstaller at Uninstall Software, Remove programs easily - Revo Uninstaller Pro (freeware). Here’s a quick look at how to use Revo uninstaller.







Launch Revo uninstaller after installing, select the program you want to uninstall or search for it using the built in search tool.







Click the Uninstall button on the toolbar







This will start the uninstallation wizard for the particular program you selected. Revo uninstaller will go through a series of steps which include creating a system restore point, creating a backup of your Windows registry.







Then analyze the program and run its default uninstaller, click Yes when you see the above dialog. After the uninstall is completed, you have a choice of scanning modes to select from. What this will do is let you scan for any left over files, folders and registry
items from that particular program. Safe looks in the usual places, moderate in more advanced locations while Advanced does a thorough search throughout the entire computer. After selecting your choice, (I went with Advanced), click Scan.



After the scan is complete, you will see a list of registry entries left behind by the program, select them then click Finish to thoroughly remove the program from your system.



The default uninstaller should work for most persons, but for those troublesome programs, the Force Uninstall feature and advanced scanning options will give you more control.
