    Application is not removed after uninstalling.

    Hi,

    I have uninstalled one application. It says "the application is uninstalled but, some of the files are not moved. ask your administrator". already i uninstalled in the administrator login only.
    Searched for the application in "Add/Remove Programs". It is not there.
    Searched for the application in "Start menu". It is not there.
    But, the folder related to that application is available. The icon is shown in the taskbar. Tried to delete the folder, it again says "access denied". Tried to worked on that. It is working.
    Simply i can say this situation like: the uninstalled application is deleted from the start menu and "add/remove programs", but the folder is not deleted and the functionality is done. Could you please help me to solve this situation.
    And also, wants to know the reason for this. Whether it is the application side problem or problem in uninstallation procedure?.

    Hi,

    As i saw your query sort out.

    For future i an giving you some tips for that :-

    1. Always install Microsoft product with .MSI instead of .exe

    becoz when u will remove this .msi one it will automatically remove all entries from registry.

    2. For uninstallation use some third party utility like Advanced Uninstaller.
