Programs that you cannot uninstall

by Steve Wiseman on January 3, 2006 · 0 comments

in Windows

Have you ever had that program that shows up in Add/Remove programs that you just can not remove?

It usually happens like this: You are cleaning up your hard drive, and you delete a few programs you no longer need.

Oops – They are still sitting in the ‘Add/Remove Programs’ section of windows.

This can get really annoying when you run auditing software and it tells you that these programs are still installed.

To get rid of the offending entry I wrote a little program to take care of it. Just run the program and select the entry you want to remove – and press the delete key. That’s it!

Go to our downloads section to get it.

FYI:

1. You should only use this for programs that will not uninstall

2. The utility only removes the reference to the program not any of the files.

Disclaimer:

Use the program at your own risk.
