Uninstall Programs Completely from the Add/ Remove program List

Many times you find out you are unable to uninstall some programs from your computer system. Occasionally, the uninstall process will take place but will turn out to be incomplete. Hence, you have loads of left-over files in your computer registry and hard disk drive.

Why the Program You Uninstalled is still Listed under the Add/ Remove program List

The uninstaller that comes with some Windows software applications does not completely remove all the application files from your computer. When the software you tried to uninstall still appears under the currently installed programs (under add/ remove program list), this implies that the registry key that was used to display the program has not yet been deleted from your computer system.
