Why Does Uninstalling Teams Leave Behind So Many Leftovers?

I recently uninstalled Microsoft Teams, but I noticed there are quite a few leftover files and settings left behind. Does anyone know why this happens? I'm on Windows 11, version 24h2. Here's a screenshot of what I found after uninstalling: [screenshot link](https://imgur.com/a/CVEMoyC).

This is exactly why I prefer using Revo Uninstaller when I take out programs. It has a feature that scans for leftover files and removes them all. The built-in Windows uninstaller really doesn't do a thorough job.

Totally agree, the built-in uninstaller leaves quite a mess. I had a friend who works in IT tell me it does a pretty lazy job too.

For real, itโ€™s such a hassle! I found a bunch of junk left behind after uninstalling too. It's frustrating!
