Removing only unmodified files

Is there a way to remove only files and directory that have not been modified?

Thank you

What would you mean by this? A little more information would help 🙂 Usually it's "how do I remove only modified/installed files" not the other way around!

What i mean is that, if i modify any files that are installed... and then i execute the uninstall, i want to uninstall everything except those files that i have modified.
In other words, Is there a way where the uninstall removes the files that are installed except those that have been modified.
In the end only modified files are left in the directory, everything else is deleted.
