No, it cannot. That is exactly what I was talking about. The uninstaller can only remove stuff created by the installer. Not by the program. In fact, since the installer/un-installer have to run as the system account, while the program itself runs as one (or more) user accounts, they would have to scan every user account on the machine to remove files/registry entries created by the actual program. That can be very slow, and error prone, and is not recommended in the official Microsoft documentation for their installer subsystem.
