When you uninstall a native UWP app that you download from Microsoft Store, does Windows 10 remove all files/folder related to that app?

Not talking about Win32/WPF.

Here's what I am talking about:

It won't remove all leftovers. If you want to do that use IObit Uninstaller, as it scans for leftovers after removing UWP apps. You can even do a batch uninstall to remove multiple apps one after the other and then scan for leftovers from all of them.
 
It won't remov everything. I actually had problems because of it on my Lenovo notebook as the Lenovo Update Utility failed to update itself because of left overs from previous versions. Took me a while to find the cause and how to delete the leftovers.
