Csidl_local_appdata

Hi, my application creates a directory and several files under CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA. I would like to delete them when program is uninstalled. How to do it?

On windows xp CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA is in c:\documents and settings\user name\local settings\Application Data\, on other versions it is in a different location.

Is there a variable in NSIS similar to $PROGRAMFILES that has this directory path?
