Try reinstalling the problem software and then try to uninstall again...

harry...

Try the reinstall/uninstall process first.

Sometimes programs leave behind files that will not be deleted after uninstall.  Usually, your notified by Windows that there were certain files that weren't deleted during the uninstall process and give you the path to those files/folders so you can manually delete them.

If you cannot remove these files in the conventional manner...unlocker will assist you with that.  You just need to know the correct pat in order to do so.

I hope I haven't confused you...

You're welcome...

Are you still having issues removing them?  If Google will not let you remove it...you can always download/install it, again...go to Add/Remove programs, and try removing it again.
