Description:
Hi,

MySQL Uninstaller could do a better job.  Have noticed some files not being cleaned up.

\Binaries
   MySQL.Web.InstallLog
   MySQL.Web.InstallState
\Web Providers
   MySQL.Web.InstallLog
   MySQL.Web.InstallState

How to repeat:
- Install 5.2.2
- Uninstall 5.2.2
- Check install folder

All Connector/NET 5.x.y versions leave some files after Uninstall...

How do you cleanup the things manually if you installed these versions before the patch?
