need some advice plz. have a program that wont uninstall. can i delete files to get it off my computer, or use drive zapper to destroy it?

Yes, use drive zapper to destroy you.


Umm well I don't think deleting the files would hurt. Just delete the program folder and you should be ok...

Or if you want to use this "drive zapper" (the name isnt something I'd trust lol...DRIVE zapper...OHHH NO! MY HARD DRIVE IS GONE!), then go ahead. Just get rid of it, its an anoying program, I can't see it but its bothering me.


DELETE IMEDITALY.

Sorry I'm on something ;)


Oh by the way, this should really go into the SOFTWARE section since its related to software ;) .

What program is it?

[swarnel]

do you mean the software hasnt got an unistall option or using add/remove wont work?

Drive Zapper sounds good!! But what exactly does it do?? Does it remove or the registry content related to the 'zapped' program/folder? Because if it does, I'm on it right now.

sry everyone, was off line for a while. if ant of you guys are still there, yep the prog has uninstall, but dont work. its a disney game 4 my niece, but she dont live here any more, wanted to get the prog out. (would have posted in "software, but im a newbie, must have missed it...........lol)

and add/remove in windows doesnt do the trick either. thats why i asked about manual delete or zappin it with winwasher

:ph34r: You should find a program called "Norton Systemworks". It has a feature called "Norton Cleansweep". This program can be used to remove programs from your harddrive. It works a lot better than the add/remove function in Windows. It analyses the whole program and deletes it. And the few items it can't delete, you can delete manually.

:ph34r: And by the way, don't remove the program manually because, you will sure as hell miss some files that will stay behind on your computer and that can even cause errors. Also the registry won't get updated, so your computer will get slower aannndddd ssssslllllllllllooooooowwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......

The program "Drive Zapper Wizard" can't be used to remove programs of your harddrive. This program destroyes files that have been deleted already, so they can't be recovered by a file recovery program. This kind of programs are used to make sure no one can recover sensitive material (like industrial secrets or even child pornography), but they can't remove programs from your drive.
