I don't think it is the prompt that's hanging. I'd either wait to see 
whether it clears things up itself or try to figure out what service is 
hanging. Some of the timeouts are 5 minutes IIRC so it may take a while 
in the worse case scenario.

The files/directories you refer to are the hints that the uninstaller 
uses to know how to restore the system to as close to pre-install 
condition as possible. I don't know that it is all that consumable if 
done manually.
