Uninstall problems

[Deepeyes]

I recently have uninstalled a few 3rd party apps but for some reason they are leaving their icons in my programs folder, how do I remove these icons? I have already run the uninstall program and have deleted any leftover folders (pic below with red circles around what I'm talking about)

\windows\start menu\programs

and remove all the shortcuts you want
know yourself out

[Deepeyes]

it will not allow to remove the icons fromt the programs folder (the programs have already been installed but the icons were left behind)

Really, it's OK. People have weekends on the internet too.

Rudegar was correct in what he said to you. Maybe he assumed that you were a bit more savvy when it came to this kind of stuff. What he means is that through the File Explorer or another similar program like Resco or Total Commander, navigate over to the "\windows\start menu\programs" folder on your device. Once there, delete the invalid shortcuts. This will resolve your issue.

Lazy didn't read below, Memaid does a nice job at cleaning a bunch of that up too, and dead registry installs etc.

If this wasn't suggested already.
