Hi,
I tried to delete a couple of applications using the add/remove function. the applications show up there, but there is a message saying "the module can't be found". Yet, the applicatio takes up over 900 mbs.
Is there a way to delete files that will go around this problem?
When I search for the application it does not show up. Isn't there a check box that asks to show all files, or isn't that relevant?
Thanks,

Ron

I would try and reinstall the application over the top of itself to repair the application and then delete the program through add/remove.

You can also right click the start button and choose explore and click on tools, folder options, and view and put a tick by show hidden files.

When you do a search on your PC via the search option you can tell it to look in hidden files and folders.

Hope this helps

I also advise to remove it via uninstaler for correct cleaning windows registry and files.
