List of files remaining in Program Files after Update from 3.4.x to 3.5

After installing LO 3.5.0RC1, the "LibreOffice 3.4" folder under %ProgramFiles% is not removed and still contains 69 files.It only takes around 1.5Mb but it looks unprofessional to leave useless folders around.

You only need to add an rd "LibreOffice 3.4" /s /q command to the Uninstall script

[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.5.0 RC1 German UI/Locale [Build-ID: b6c8ba5-8c0b455-0b5e650-d7f0dd3-b100c87] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) as updatefor "LibreOffice 3.4.5 [Build ID: OOO340m1 (Build:502)]".

MAy be a part of this might be useful (if you want to downgrade from 3.5 to 3.4 there might b useful information), additionally some "addons" (customer themes, ...) should not be removed. But most of remaining contents seems to be useless.

Leaving files behind because someone might want to go back is not common (I still think it looks unprofessional)

If there are "customer themes" in the install folder it means they were placed there by the admin who should update them to the new install location. 

User data should be in the user folder so deleting the install folder will not affect them.
