Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." I've tried reinstalling the application and them uninstall it cause i don't like or want it.

You can probably delete it by going in to the registry with regedit or a third-party registry tool.

Do a SEARCH for files, type:
*.scr
The results are all your screensavers. Delete what you want to.
