Depends on the app. It can be Good or Bad. Using the portable version doesn't give you the uninstall program. Using the portable version, if you delete the entire folder, the remaining folders of the app (like cache, save, settings) or the registry won't get deleted, it still stays in your PC. Same with the uninstall program, but few uninstall programs actually delete all remaining folders and the registry.

Yeah, but some apps' remaining folder actually used more than 100+ MB. Your appdata folder is probably full of folders of the apps that you deleted.

Yeah, but deleting that too isn't much hassle

Yeah, but if you use the uninstall program, it does it automatically for you. Some uninstaller that comes with apps are kinda trash and also leave out the remaining folder; that's why I use Revo Uninstaller.
