I've had my computer totally cleaned a couple of times. Any person who has done this says that I have downloaded a lot of games. If I uninstall them from the control panel, do I still have game residue left over that takes up space on my computer? If so, what do I need to do, so I don't have to have someone go through my computer again?

The files left behind by uninstallers are not generally very large in size (usually <1MB), if any. What is the issue that is making you concerned about this. Do you keep running low on disk space?

Also, what exactly do you mean by 'totally cleaned'? The only totally clean is a reformat, is that what you did?
