Still Can't Get Start Menu Group to uninstall (delete)
This is obscenely more complicate than it should be.

I have the Start Menu group explicitly defined, yet it will not remove either shortcut OR the group itself.

Even have tried:

RMDir /r "${SMPROGRAMS}\${MUI_PRODUCT}"

Anyone??

Insert:

;Configuration

  ;Remember the Start Menu Folder
  !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_ROOT "HKCU" 
  !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_KEY "Software\<yoursoft>" 
  !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_VALUENAME "StartMenuFolder"

;Installer Sections

  !insertmacro MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_BEGIN
    ;Create shortcuts
    CreateDirectory "$SMPROGRAMS\${MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_VARIABLE}"
    CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\${MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_VARIABLE}\<yourapp>.lnk" "$INSTDIR\<yourfile>.ext"
  !insertmacro MUI_STARTMENU_WRITE_END

;Uninstaller Section

  ;must be the first in this sektion
  ;when you are going to delete the whole key later
  ; DeleteRegKey HKCU "Software\<yoursoft>"

  ;Remove shortcuts
  Push $R0
  ;ReadRegStr $R0 HKCU "Software\<yoursoft>" "StartMenuFolder"
  ReadRegStr $R0 ${MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_ROOT} ${MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_KEY} ${MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_VALUENAME}
  StrCmp $R0 "" noshortcuts
    RMDir /r "$SMPROGRAMS\$R0"
  Pop $R0
