I found the property on the individual files included in my install but they
are already set to false.
A strange note is that this deployment project, when set to not remove
previous installation, will delete all of the files when the applicaiton is
removed.
When I set the properties for removing prior verions an run the MSI to
remove the application ,, the files are NOT cleaned up.

Where do I look for this property?

Hello, Trac!
There is a property called "Permanent", if file being installed has it, it won't be deleted on
uninstall.
There may be also other reason's why files aren't deleted, you can try
to make a verbose log of the uninstall process. In that log you'll see the
reason why this or that file wasn't deleted.
For more details on logging have a look at

TBI finally figured out how set up my VS deployment project to remove
TBa
TBprevious version (I was not setting the productdoe or version
TBnumber).
TBWhile I have been testing, I notice that if I choose to uninstall
TBentirely,
TBthe new version, all files remain behind though the desk top icon is
TBremoved.
TBThe difference between my previous MSI and and my current MSI is
TBthat I
TBchanged the "Remove Previous Version" property = true
TBI changed the version number and the productcode. I have not made
TBany other
TBchanges.
TBWhat can I do to make sure that program files are not left behind
TBafter the
TBuninstall?
TBThanks
