Unhappy Limewire Removal

I am using Windows XP, SP2 on a Sony Laptop. Tried using windows to remove Limewire. But, it did not remove. Still has a large folder under Programs which will not let me remove any of the files.

Need help removing Limewire.

The correct way to remove LW is Start Menu -> Programs -> LW -> Uninstall.
LW also has an uninstaller in the program folder.

Thanks for your rapid reply.
So, then I must reinstall Limewire to remove it? It does not show up in the All Programs files under the Start menu.

That's probably because you only half removed it using the Add/Remove Programs Control panel.

Only way I can think of fixing that up is to use your computer search function, and delete all limewire listings you see. And then run this utility to clean up your registry: Crap Cleaner
