I would add one step in the process. After renaming, I would zip the folder and delete the unzipped source folder. System is sometimes smart enough to locate files within a renamed folder. It doesn't always fail. Zipping will keep the files and folders out of systems reach, yet full recovery is possible if needed.

Best thing to do is a total reformat every 6 months - cleans all the junk out. Just make sure you download all the newer versions of everything first, and then install those.

Far better method of install would be to uninstall all copies including registry referances,delete referanced files,reboot. Then install latest version itself; This is not unlike a clean install and will have the best results with no problems...
