I tried to uninstall some games in my Control Panel "Add/Remove Program". It uninstalled some but not all. They are gone from my Control Panel "Add/Remove Program" but still are in my program files. How can I now completely delete them. Thanks to anyone that can help.

I answered my own question but thought the solution may be helpful to someone else. I downloaded all the games again and uninstalled in the Control Panel "Add/Remove" Program and they successfully uninstalled this time.

I love gamehouse! I just wish there was an easier way to uninstall games that I download using my funpass. My add/delete files are extensive and it takes forever for it to pull up all of them. Is there any way to uninstall besides that way?

If it's taking forever, it's your computer running slow. Try doing it through WinUtilities (free download). Maybe will be a little faster.

Hi ydoi, Goldengirl's post is from 2009, so just in case she's not around anymore, I'll answer you. Sometimes an uninstall doesn't seem to get all the game "parts" yet the game no longer shows up and you feel stuck with those unwanted parts. To try a new uninstall, you can reinstall the game which will put the game name back on your computer, and you can re-try the uninstall.

Now this must sound clear as mud, but if you follow it point by point, it makes sense. It's almost as illogical as having to click the start button on your computer in order to turn it off.

I don't know about other people, but sometimes I think I'm here because I'm not all there.
