Sometimes, even after you have uninstalled a program, it remains as an option in the ‘add or remove programs’ control panel application. This can happen due to poor coding or an error in the un-installation process. To clean these orphaned entries up, a registry edit is called for.
To delete orphaned program entries open Regedit and navigate to:
‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall’
Look for the offending program entries and delete them. Note that some programs may be listed with a string of letters and numbers. Open the value inside these keys to see the actual name of the program.
