Reggie,

That sound like remnants of programs that may be causing this kind of
slowdown. If the program is uninstalled there is no way an empty
folder can slow down a computer. If the uninstall program has left any
junk that does have the ability to be executed then that might cause a
slowdown but that would have to be some program stub that get executed
on startup or something like that. And empty folder just can't slow
down a computer. What might happen is that other factors have slowed
down the computer and this was not noticed until the program was
uninstalled.

exactly remnants of other programs, which accumulate on the harddrive I have found causes slow downs, empty folders yes have nothing to do with this. So I take it you agree with what I said.
