You haven't completely deleted it. If it won't go away from "add remove programs" in the Control Panel, go into program files in your hard drive, find the folder of that program, and delete the whole folder.

No, in fact what I did, was uninstalled all of them, then I went to http://www.java.com and simply reinstalled the 5.9 version...\n\nI did it that way just in case I erased the old ones and it would make the 5.9 not work, and also to make sure I had the most up to date version and it installed correctly.\n\nHowever later I checked it on another computer, you can remove the old versions using windows add/remove in control panel.

Most programs that are uninstalled through Add/Remove require a log file to be able to uninstall.  If for some reason the log file which contains the needed information to do the uninstall becomes corrupt or the installation itself becomes corrupt then you will not be able to uninstall the program via Add/Remove.  You can physically delete the folder where the program files are stored and get rid of the uninstall option by searching for the program name in the registry and deleting that entry in the registry but that is a bit tricky and often leaves registered dll files and other files lying around.\n\nOne good trick I use is to reinstall the software again and rebuild the log file and you can uninstall and usually the uninstall will work.

If you have no uninstall then just reinstall it and then you'll have a uninstall under its shortcut. Some programs also have an uninstall function as your reinstalling.

There are tree ways to uninstall/remove a program.\n1) Stop the program by right clicking on the icon in the taskbar and then try to uninstall in add/remove program.\n2) Boot your computer in safe mode by pressing F8 and selecting safe mode from the menu while restarting , then follow step 1.\n3) If you do not have an option to remove it in the add/remove window then Remove the program from startup menu as follows\n(start > run > type msconfig\npress ok.   Click on startup, uncheck it from the menu. click on apply. click on ok. press restart. Check the window that appears after restart, press ok)\nThen go to control panel > add/remove program to uninstall.\nIf nothing of the above works. Then The best way to remove unwanted programs which you can not remove from add/remove dialog in control panel on your computer is to remove it from registry. If you are comfortable with manually editing registry, otherwise use registry cleaning software like RegScrubXP to remove the entries of offending software from registry and then use a cleaning software like ccleaner to remove other files such as exes, dlls etc created by the offending program. \nFree RegScrubXP registry cleaner\nhttp://bestofrest.blogspot.com/2006/11/regscrubxp-registry-cleaner.html\n\ndownlod + install + run it.\nWhen you get in the software window.\nClick on user defined problems button.\nIt will display all entries in windows registry under different categories. So scroll down the list till you reach a category company. In this category look at the names in full key, and Main key. If you locate the name there, then check the box in front of its entry and press the button Fix selected entries. It should remove the entry from the registry.\nAfter that you will need another software to remove other files created by the program on your computer. It is ccleaner, if you do not have it already; read how to use it and then download it from here.\nhttp://yanswers.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-to-use-ccleaner.html

try to download removal program and give it a try.  If not, I guess you can google it, like remove xxxxx program.  If there something you have to watch out, it will usually shows, if not, you should be able to just go and delete it from your machine.  You can also take out the registry following the link.

I had this before, it had installed itself as a program, so going to add/remove programs in the control panel and uninstalling it might work, but be careful not to remove anything you need!!!

In the start menu from where you launch the application, look for the uninstall option. If it is not there then click on start -> Control Panel -> Add/remove Programs and then select "Starware" from the list and select Uninstall/Remove.\nYou're through with the program.

You may have to re-install it to get it to uninstall!\nAlso, try Ccleaner. The Uninstall tool is brilliant.\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com Cr*pcleaner Registry cleaner and privacy tool\nGo to Tools, find the program on the list and click Uninstall.\nIf its not on the list its not installed properly, or at all; check to see if its just old icons left behind that failed to uninstall. \nTry clicking them to see if they open the program or if you get an error message.\nIf they are no longer linked to the program just right click and delete.

since you didn't said what you are trying to uninstall, here are some reasons i'm guessing:\n\n- corrupted registry\n- missing uninstaller\n- the program was manually deleted without using the uninstaller.\n\nyou might want to try this program from micro$oft.  It's a Windows Installer Cleanup Utility\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
