Over the past day whenever I uninstall something occasionally bits would be left behind. This is really irritating because I cannot check the original things that I have changed.

Correct me if I am wrong.

While making my Improved Drizzt mod I extracted a few things using NI, changed them installed it later uninstalled it but some files were still left and I had to manually delete them.

I don't quite understand. If you extracted them with NI, how is WeiDU supposed to know about them?

I'll have to side with compton on this one: if you extract something with NI, WeiDU isn't going to know about this. Can you give us more details on what you actually did?

At any rate, if you install a mod, edit the TP2 file to include more resources, and then uninstall the mod ... the uninstallation will *not* reflect the new files. Basically, when you install a mod WeiDU makes a list of all of the files it created *at that time*. When you uninstall it just goes through that list and undoes them.
