I install some software into C: drive. Now I don't want use them any more.
I did uninstall those software from control panel.
In C:, under programs, those software folders and files still there.
I tried many times to delete those folders and files, but Win Vista never allow to do it.
Those software name still listing under -- Start -- programs. I also can not delete those name from listing.
In Win XP delete those software folders, files and name listing is very easy way.
Why Win Vista can not do it ?
How to delete folder and files under Win vista ?

What were the programs you were uninstalling?

Is UAC enabled (default)?

Is the user account you're using a full administrator on the box?

When you say "it won't let you", does an error come up? What exactly happens?

The ripple effect is too good not to mention.
If you’re not affected, you’re not paying attention!"
