HELP I cant delete a game I never play!!

[gdrockson]

I installed the Rugrats game last january just because I hadn't played it in years but since it's so old it didn't even work on my computer.

Which is fine. But now I cant uninstall it and I never play. Its taking up what little space I have left. And I need that space.

What can I do??

When you say you can't uninstall it, do you mean that it isn't listed in "Add/Remove Software"? Can you find the original installation directory and see if there's an "uninstall" exe?

If neither, then I'd suggest that it's pretty safe just to find the installation directory and delete it.

You might want to run a registry checker to remove any residual registry entries pertaining to it afterwards.

No, it's on add or remove, but then it won't let me delete because it's corrupted. Or whatever. But I'll try what you said.

Hi, one other thing you can try is to reinstall it and then remove it.

What error messages do you get when you try to delete it?

Insted of trying to delete the whole folder, delete the files withn it.
