Yes - but oftimes the uninstaller left things behind in the registry too. So after backing up, uninstalling and deleting the game´s root directory you have to check your registry for entries pointing to the deleted files (missing servers in Windows speak). This is a VERY tedious task if done with regedit or regedit32 - so do the Google for a tool called regclean, download it and check it for viruses. RegClean is from MS and it worked fine for me on Win 9x, 2000 and XP. It checks your registry for missing servers and deletes these entries - the good thing is it logs its actions in a *.reg file in it´s startup directory. If something is wrong afterwards (occured never for me) with a single double-click on the appropriate *.reg file you´re able to undo the deletions restoring the original state of your registry.
Hope that helps a bit
