uninstall

My program is installed with a Visual Studio Setup project. The program, when run, creates a user.config file in its default location since I'm using Settings. When uninsalling, how do I get the uninstaller to remove that user.config file? Also, how do I cause the uninstaller to remove a folder in %AppData%?
