I asked myself that same question, Eugen, so went to look. According to Pandora Recovery, the utility I am using to recover my lost files, in addition to deleting some 20k files from the My Documents folder, the uninstall deleted or overwrote ~10k files from other parts of the hard drive, including in the Windows System32 folder.

It said yes.

So the question is: installing ekiga in My Documents folder removes My
Documents folder upon uninstalling.

Maybe ekiga considers that the installation folder is used only by ekiga
and at uninstallation it removes it completely?

I can see the uninstaller wiping out the folder it is installed to by accident but the file you show in the screenshot is related to Exchange (Maybe Outlook) and not Ekiga.

I don't have access to a Windows system to test with this weekend but it is not impossible that the installer removes the whole folder it installs itself to.
