I'm using the Ethereum Mist wallet on my desktop, but after transferring everything to a new computer I'd like to remove all traces of Ethereum from the old desktop.
What files/folders would I need to remove?
If I'm correct the wallet is not really software like all my other programs. Meaning I don't have to uninstall the program. Just deleting the shortcut and the '78.5 MBMist-win64-0-8-7.exe' file would suffice. I believe there's not a single file in the 'My programs' folder
Next to that I have to delete the 'Ethereum' and 'Ethereum wallet' folder in my 'Appdata' folder. Thereby deleting among other things the entire blockchain (which frees up a lot of hd space again) and, most importantly, the 'keystore' folder.
If I'm not mistaken that's it. Or am I forgetting something?
PS Of course I will make sure all files are properly removed and not just placed in the bin – even though they are nearly empty now.

what you did by removing the Ethereum folder is correct.
Mist data is located under
and Mist is normally installed in the
%APPDATA%/local/mistfolder. so delete also these folders.
