I just tested by copying the installed files to where the log say C_DRIVE would be prior to the redefine (in my case, e:\cdrive) and then ran the uninstall.
The installed files were deleted from e:\... rather than c:\... proving this theory. Looks like I need to change when the custom action triggers. I'll try before CostInitialize and see what happens since you like it. I'm very new to both MSI and WiX. (I'm really good at Inno Setup but our corporate standard says make MSIs. It also says to use WISE which is even more confusing than WiX for me and my developer brain.) Thanks a lot!
