It depends what the program is.  Add / Remove is the best option as it should delete pretty much all traces of the program.\n\nFailing that see if there's an option to uninstall.  Use Windows Explorer to path through to the folder where the program is - normally it will be c:&#92;program files&#92;name of program.\n\nLook for a file that's called uninstall, uninst or unwise - double click it and follow the on screen instructions to delete the program.\n\nFailing that you may need to manually delete the program but unless you know the location of all the files the chances are that some of it will remain on your hard-drive.

if it's a program file you should be able to go into your add/remove programs section in the control panel..

yes, its safe,it cleans only the custom settings from registry that were made after the windows instalation, these tools have concept to understand the windows default registry settings, so they only clean the settings that do not match with windows default settings.hope  u understand

If you've installed them, delete them. If you want to save time downloading them ever again, write them to a CD-ROM.\n\nYou can also delete the matching hidden uninstall directories under &#92;WINDOWS.\n\nThey are named $NT-patchname$

If is is not listed in Add/Remove Programs and still the application is running in the computer then we need to remove the program from Registry. All the programs install would be definitely listed in Registry.\n\nFollow the steps to un-install the program from Registry.\nThese steps involve Windows Registry modifications and hence I suggest you take a backup of the registry before applying the solution.\n\nRegistry Backup:\n1. Click Start, Run and type regedit.\n2. Click File on Registry menu and select Export to File option.\n3. Select the radio button beside “All” option.\n4. Give a file name (say regbackup) and save it onto the desktop.\n\nPlease follow the steps below to delet the program from Registry\n1. Click Start, Run and type regedit and hit enter to open Registry menu.\n2. Click "+" beside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.\n\n3. Click "+" beside Software .\n\n4. Click "+" beside Microsoft.\n\n5. Click "+" beside Windows.\n\n6. Click "+" beside CurrentVersion.\n\n7. Click "+" beside Uninstall.\n\nTry to find the program which you want to delete. After finding the program, Right-Click on the program and select Delete/Uninstall.\n\nAfter deleting the program, close the Registry Menu and restart the system.
