How-to completely remove Windows Mobile Device Center?
I installed WMDC on my Windows 7 x64 here the other day, but i don't need it anymore, so i want to remove it. Thought it was enough uninstalling the two entries in "Programs and Features" but there is still two or more services left behind as well as a folder in: "C:\Windows\WindowsMobile", and the WMDC icon in the control panel.
So am wondering if anyone know how to completely uninstall/remove WMDC? My guess is that i have to dive into the registry? | My System Specs |

honestly, just leave it. You can cause more issues trying to rip it from the registry than will be caused by leaving it. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Black_Box (homebuilt)

Hello Nitrius,
Sorry, you cannot uninstall the Windows Mobility Center since it is a part of Windows 7, but you can turn it off by disabling it. Windows Mobility Center - Enable or Disable

Its not the mobility center, this is something i downloaded from Microsoft: Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 | Windows Vista Support
Uninstalled which went fine, but as i said, there is still stuff left behind, ofc they don't do me any harm, but i just dont get why they leave some of the stuff behind after uninstalling it.
Anyway thanks for the answers. | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64
