Removed Programs Still in “Add/Remove Programs.”


help my pc wont work
lets build you a pc Custom Computers built in Omaha

Uninstalled a program, or deleted the folder the program was in, but it's still shows up in "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel? Here's how to fix it:


Click on Start and go to Run...


In the box type in "regedit" (no quotation marks) and click OK-


Run -> Regedit


Regedit is a very powerful tool for managing your computer, but you need to excercise extreme caution and follow our instructions exactly.


Now in regedit, you'll want to go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

To do that, we'll click on the + by "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" on the left side-


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE


Then scroll down slowly until you see "SOFTWARE" and click the + next to it, and more stuff will drop down underneath it.
Scroll down again until you see "Microsoft" and click the + next to it-


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Microsoft


From there we'll scroll down again to "Windows" and click the + there, then down to "CurrentVersion" and clicking the + next to it, and then scroll down to "Uninstall."


Underneath "Uninstall" you should have a list of your the programs that show up in "Add/Remove Programs." To get one out of there that should be, right click on it, then left click on "Delete."


Delete Key


Click on "Yes" and you're all set.
