Generally they are some empty folders(folders in program files/user directory) and in minor cases some dll(1 or 2), which is being used by some other application at the time of uninstalling.

Nothing important, and it is not that they hog space in your HD. it is safe to leave them.

Revo Uninstaller is good enough. I personally use Your Uninstaller since 2009.
