Hi everyone,

I have a query about some files in C:\Programdata, basically about a year ago I had a game on my Laptop (Toshiba Satellite) which I'd thought I had unistalled properly however it doesn't seem to have fully uninstalled.

It is still appearing in Add/Remove Programs, but when I try to remove it I get an error message. When it does this I've noticed that it tries to reinstall the program rather than uninstall. The program is no longer in C:\Program Files, the only trace left that I can find of it is under C:\ProgramData. I have tried to delete these files (I know you aren't meant to delete these HIDDEN files but since the program is meant to be removed already I don't see why it would CAUSE any issues), however Windows Vista wouldn't let me as it said it couldn't locate the files.

This is exactly where the folders/files I'm trying to delete are:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Playonline

They are folders and Shortcuts, which of course I can only bring up in search. I think they are the reason why Windows believes the program is still installed and wondering how I might be able to get rid of them?

At the moment I can't reinstall the game by DISK as it THINKS the game is still installed.

Thank you!
