Uninstallers for applications installed in to %appdata% locations

The current PDQ bundled uninstallers for Zoom and Dropbox do not remove the application if it has been downloaded and run without administrative rights and runs from the %appdata% locations. There are plenty of other applications that have the same issue but these are the two that ive tested recently.

For Zoom you can download "cleanzoom.exe" from their mass deployment help articles. Simply run this with the "/s" swtich and it will remove the both the MSI and %appdata% install versions from across the system. This doesnt need to be run in the users context either.
