In Windows 7 this code uninstall files from the folder, but don’t uninstall the folder in Start Menu.

Answer 1

Make sure that you aren’t trying to RMDir the current working directory.

From the NSIS Documentation:

Note that the current working directory can not be deleted. The
current working directory is set by SetOutPath. For example, the
following example will not delete the directory.

SetOutPath $TEMP\dir
RMDir $TEMP\dir
