    Try downloading the program again and installing it. Then use the "Repair" function in "Add/Remove" programs if available. Afterwards try to remove the program again.

    If the above doesn't work try downloading and installing Revo Uninstaller then use it to attempt removal. Revo is free and can be downloaded from;

    Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download - Uninstall software, remove programs, solve uninstall problems

    Scroll to the bottom of the page and choose the download link on the left side column for the free version. See screen shot below;

    Run WinDirStat on C and analyse the results. Post results if you have questions.
