I just cleared out nearly 100 GB of data from about a dozen old games I Uninstalled years ago. WITCHER 2 and 3, DOS 2, Mass effect, xcom 1 and 2, Herizon 1… and more, all left up to 30 GB files after using game Uninstallers.

Windows does not provide an easy way to delete everything. It involves files in multiple places, likely registry entries and the like, and it is easy to overlook parts of it. Plus it isn’t a priority to develop. Also, uniquely to windows, a program cannot delete its own executable, despite fully being in RAM.
On systems like Linux and MacOS, it is much easier to fully remove a program.
