So it wasn't that "so much crap" had been left behind by numerous apps;
it's that one piece of software for Wacom tablet drivers wasn't
completely removed. I get the attraction to utilities that go looking
for cruft to remove; but the fact is this problem you encountered is
easily avoided by following the removal instructions recommended by the
manufacturer of said software. If you always use the recommended removal
procedure, you won't have this issue. I'm living proof of this, BTW. : )
