Hi I manually removed one software from my pc but it still appears in the “add-remove software” list. When I press the remove button says that it can’t be found but it doesn’t remove from the list. Is there any way of removing it from there manually?
u can remove it from the registry,doing it this way will remove it from the add/remove list in control panel ALWAYS back up the registry first.when done so..goto START/RUN type in REGEDIT then goto HKEY LOCAL MACHINE,GOTO MICROSOFT then scroll down to find WINDOWS click on the + sign next to windows and scroll down to UNINSTALL and u will find the progran in there to delete from ur list. glad to help
Hi Anna, Rather than messing about with the registry? Go to this link Click Here at Znets downloads its a shareware program that works for 30 days and it allows you to remove programs from your Add/Remove list. Hope this helps Cheers Alan
