Besides UNINSTALL feature of the program itself, deleting from the Control Panel,
Manually delete the whole folder in Program Files..

Any other way?

I heard there is another way to delete from registry but I dunno how?

Please advice.Thanks

Most software I used don't clean registry themself when I uninstall it. So I use CCleaner. It's a all in one cleaner. Very nice. I think many ppl uses it too

Yeah, CCleaner is a tune up tool to help u clear registry and cleanse ur pc from unwanted or leftovers of softwares during uninstallation. icon_rolleyes.gif

Actually leftovers aren't very annoying also. But if u want to keep the settings of tht apps, don't delete the registry, keep it. If u deleted the registry, and reinstall, this will be a CLEAN install

u can use your uninstaller pro... google it...
it uninstall da program n clear any leftovers too, may it be in registry, or in folders...

yeah . many software .. just google it ... i try b4 ccleaner , tuneup utilities , error repair profetional . etc
yawhong
tuneup utilities can.. there is a option let you entire del and cant restore it back
iKen
CCleaner & TuneUp Utilities will work for it.

If you wanna manually remove it, you'll have lots of work to do.
Going to Add & Remove to remove the prog, go to Windows Registry.. etc.

1. Uninstall the program using Start Menu or Control Panel Add/Remove Program

2. Go to C:\Program Files\ and check for the program folder. If it's still there, you can delete it manually after reviewing it's contents and finish with step 1

3. Use a registry cleaner program such as CCleaner to ensure it's removed entirely from registry

download CCleaner here: http://www.ccleaner.com/download
