Ditto. Deleting the .cab files after installation causes no issue whatsoever. That said, some cabs are nothing more than regedits or manila files (as an example) and deleting through the Remove Programs link in Settings will usually remove whatever it was they installed. Also, as was stated, removing some programs like Advanced Config will leave any changes made while using it (that's why they offer the ability to export the data of any changes), but some will revert the changes to what they were before installation and use of the program. This has long been a pet peeve of mine with WinMo developers, the fact that there is rarely any information about this kind of thing. I used to have a program on my PC that ran before installation of any software and logged all reg entries and directories created/modified by the installer so that I could trace any remnants not removed by an uninstall. I wish something like this existed for WinMo.
