I uninstalled the program but the icon won't go away

This is in My Computer

How can I get the icon to disappear?

Have you rebooted your computer after uninstalling the program?

Try uninstalling a second time, or try uninstalling in safe mode. If this is a program that you recently installed and then decided that you did not want, you can do a system restore to before you installed the program.

Curious; what program is or was it.

The program doesn't show up the Programs list anymore so I would not be able to uninstall it a second time. As for uninstalling it in safe mode, I have never tried that, but if it is already uninstalled in normal mode, then would there still be an program entry in safe mode? I can't tell until I restart my computer which won't be for a while. I turned off system restore so that is not an option.

Try Revo uninstaller or CCleaner. Do a registry cleanup.

I downloaded CCleaner and ran the registry clean up and the icon is still there. Is there any specific settings I should change?

Last call.

i find that if the icon stays in my start menu recent items for instance, after i have deleted a program, usually i have a folder left in program files or program files (x64). have you checked?

4 years late... but if you still have the problem, i just had it and i just named another file the same name with the same type of file and it replaced the stuck one, but i could delete it.
