I used the uninstaller to remove the programs, checked to be sure the files were really gone, emptied the recycle bin, used the Windows system cleaner to remove unnecessary files, defragged the disk, restarted the computer cold,...
nothing helped. The only space that I regained was that which Windows deleted when I emptied the recycle bin and cleaned unnecessary files; about 2gb. The 10+gb that I uninstalled is still occupied, as far as Windows is concerned.
However, I do used Norton, and information about purging protected files is something I haven't tried. I'll give it a shot and let everyone know how it turned out.
