Deleting Software for Control Panel

A few softwares are not deleting from the Control Panel; Uninstalled Programs Window. A software is sought to abolish/diminish this problem… Can someone help me please? -- Apostle (talk) 18:24, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Russell.mo: Which version of Windows are you using? Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10? The Quixotic Potato (talk) 19:43, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay guys, ran out of internet 'kbs'.

The Quixotic Potato: Windows 7 Ultimate. Can you recommend something? A software that doesn't require installing would be of great help...the computer that I have needs to last me a long time... -- Apostle (talk) 22:08, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Russell.mo: You can use CrapCleaner (The Google toolbar may be bundled). You can uninstall CCleaner after using it. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 00:43, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I already have that. I think I tried it before. I'll retry and let you know. Thanks... -- Apostle (talk) 18:12, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Quixotic Potato: Nope, it doesn't work. Any idea what else would/could? -- Apostle (talk) 20:32, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The list you see is stored in the registry. You can remove them from the list manually [1]. The only software you will need is regedit.exe, which is already installed on your computer. Remember to make a backup. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 21:37, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thanks. I've to do this some other time... -- Apostle (talk) 18:43, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
