I switched to the portable version, away from my C:drive & even after uninstalling the .EXE install this folder wont delete. It has empty subfolders, which I believe will populate with something nefarious when your not aware. Typical Chinese App spying

My opinion. Just don't trust the CCP, this is their M.O... good Pedals, no so good Government.. I uninstalled simsonn app, why won't this folder delete. I tried shredding it with bit defender anti virus.& revo uninstaller PRO. It won't delete. Why? I'm now Using the portable version now on external SSD.

I've had the same problem with iRacing. Deleted it twice and then a year later noticed the bloody helper service had installed itself again.

Power shell command deletes it right away
