Empty Folder Cleaner and Windows

Does the Empty Folders Cleaner differentiate which folders should and should not be deleted in the Windows OC? The tool identifies hundreds in my C drive, and I assume those in the Windows' System, Program Files, Windows32, etc. should NOT be deleted, but I can't tell.

Every day my computer tries to install the 2025-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5053598) and every day after trying to install for an hour or more, it reverses and uninstalls the update. The automatic installs which keep failing are preventing me from using my computer whi;e the install and unistall happens.
How do I fix this?
I have an HP Laptop 15-dy2xxx with a1TB drive and 466GB free on it.

Is it safe to delete software's registry keys ?

Hi,

I tried to uninstall a software, but that doesn't seem to have gone well.
It is 4k video downloader.

Reinstalling doesn't work because I get the message that it is still there on my PC.

Now I have downloaded your software and when I search for keys of this 4k software, I get a list of almost 500 keys, see photo.

When I check, when I stand on it with the cursor, it all shows 4k.

Now my question is, is this safe to remove?

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely

John de Vries
