How do I totally delete Limewire from my computer?
 
Hi all,

I let my nephew use my computer and he installed Limewire on it. I don't use P2P software, and I wanted to unistall it. However, I used the Control Panel - uninstall software process and it did not remove all the Limewire components.

I've got an Acer Aspire 5520, running Windows Vista (yuk) home Premium.

When I search for Limewire in the Search - Files and Folders I get a list of 40 or so files. When I try to delete them one at a time, this dialouge box pops up:

"the (location of file) folder does not exist. Do you want to create it?"

I select no.

Then nothing happens.

I select all the files to delete, and it comes up with this:
"Could not find this item (location of file). Verify the item's location and try again."

I can't seem to figure out why my computer says there are Limewire files when there are not?!?

Please help!

The files you are seeing that are left over are like a shell, the actual body of the program has been uninstalled...

Use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name. If you can't delete them, reboot into safe mode & then try. If they still won't delete, try one of the tools here...
Incomplete Download File won't delete at all.
