Title: Is there a way to get rid of a program when I can't find it anywhere?
Post by: Magicmarker82 on October 06, 2012, 11:21:09 PM

A long time ago I got something called 500,000 Games and since then, I've uninstalled it from Programs and Features. I can't find it when listing it through start, and my security (Microsoft Essentials) takes an extremely long time to scan because it's still scanning the files from this game.

I have Windows 7.

Never mind! While it was scanning the files, I followed the file location in my start menu. Was able to find it and get rid of the 61,000 files it took up!
