Having trouble removing some software.

Hi all i need some help with removing a couple of installed programs.
The problem is i have already tried heaps of different things. I think i have deleted the unistall.exe files for the programs. All im sure of is i cant delete them from the add/remove programs list, some help would be good

Well try going into your program files folder or wherever you installed them and delete the folder for the program.

Then you can also get a tool called reg cleaner that you can use to remove any excess things in your registry.

One question though. Do the programs show up in the add/remove programs list? If so, what happens when you click remove?

Actually if its just a matter of registry, you can remove the uninstaller info from the registry and it will be taken out of add/remove. I have to do it with Norton all the time. Norton doesnt like to uninstall completely, even with using their sysuninstaller.

In anycase, im sure other people know the location. I know it, but due to the harmful nature of registry tweaking, I will post it later if no other conclusion is found. Hope that is all right.

Remember, with all things registry, back it up first, and make sure you know what you are doing. Bubba Gumps idea might be a little better, but it might change settings you didnt want changed.
Basic Suggestion: Perform a search of the computer for related files.

Ex. Search: Norton

I use a program called Mcafee Quick CLean. I bought it at Wal Mart for around $10. Best $10 I ever spent.

if worse comes to worse, just boot into safe mode and manually delete the files.

i had already tried removing them using regedit and they still show up in add/ remove programs i have used reg cleaning programs already and they didnt do the job
