Uninstall does not remove files

I have created a .msi package using VS Installer that has 3 components, 2 of which are custom ones that we have created ourselves.

When I click the msi file to remove the installation it only removes the 2 custom components.

Is there any reason for this?

Thank you for any help.

Generate a verbose log file of the uninstall to see what's going on:
