How do I unstall elements 6 in XP it's not in Add/Remove Programs

I had elents 6 and when I installed 7 it said I didn't have to remove 6, so I didn't, just in case I didn't like 7 or needed 6. Then I forgot about 6 being there and when I installed 8 it said I didn't have to uninstall 7, so I didn't uninstall it either. Now I found 6 and want to uninstall it but it is not in Add/Remove Programs, I searched the KB and it said when it couldn't be uninstalled with Add/remove you could do it manually. then the directions for manual uninstall says Open Control Panel, go to Add/Remove programs, and uninstall Elements 6. So it says essentially "if you can't do "This", then "Do This".
After listening to music for about 40 minutes on the telephone, the Tech Support guy said I would have to pay him $40, or go to the KB . I told him that the information in the KB was wrong when you searched "Uninstall Elements 6" and he said the only thing I could do was pay him $40, non refundable, and that if something went wrong with one of the other Adobe programs I would have to pay them to fix that!
ANY SUGGESTIONS. . . PLEASE, otherwise I'll just leave 2,000+ files that take up half a gig, and hope it doesn't give me other problems in the future. I was considering just deleting the Elements 6 folder and then use system mechanic to fix the registry. or IF I can find the original CD, can I use it to uninstall it, or could I reinstall it, without it screwing up my 7 and 8, and see if it shows up in "Add/Remove Programs"?

Find the original CD and launch the Setup. If it doesn't give you the option of removing the current installation, install PSE 6 again and then uninstall it from the Control Panel.
If that doesn't work, then you can follow the instructions in the tech note that you were reading:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408483.html
Just skip the first section, "Run the Photoshop Elements 6 Uninstaller". The remaining sections will lead you through a manual removal. (I agree that the instructions are confusing.)
But it's better to do reinstall and then uninstall if you can.

How do i uninstall McAfee from new G500 windows 8.1 laptop. It's not in add/remove programs

Nice going Lenovo with NOT listing McAfee with the add/remove programs. How do I remove it. I can't use the McAfee tool until I uninstall the conventional way via add/remove programs.

How to remove old NI Imaq if it is not in add remove programs

I am upgrading from 6i to 8.o fo rlabview and vision development module.
I need to remove my old IMQ before the new one will install. It is not listed in my add/remove programs. How do I remove it?

Hi rscconrad,
IMAQ 2.5.1 was a subcomponent of the LabVIEW installation and will reinstalling LabVIEW to remove the component.
Uninstall LabVIEW 6.x using Add/Remove Programs. This will remove the previous version of IMAQ.
Install LabVIEW 6.x (or if possible, just install LabVIEW 8.0). You will need to customize the 6.x installation so that IMAQ 2.5.x is not installed.
Proceed with your upgrade.
I hope this works for you.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

How do I uninstall firefox when I cannot find it in 'add/remove program'

I am trying to uninstall firefox from my window 7 notebook but I cannot find it under 'add/remove program' in control panel. I have come across suggestion to delete the Mozilla firefox folder from program x86 but I worry that this method may create problem by leaving orphans in the registry.

The uninstall instructions are here
* [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]
You appear not to be posting from Firefox and so I wonder have you already uninstalled it ?
Uninstalling, gives you an option to leave behind personal information. If you will never use Firefox again you may not need that and the Firefox profile may be deleted. Possibly the profile folder is what you are seeing. Note the profile contains your Firefox bookmarks and normally if uninstalling Firefox you may wish to first of all export those as HTML that may be used elsewhere as bookmarks / favourites.
* [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
* [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]

How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs

How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs. I have looked on my hard drive extensively for a library or utility folder that would have an uninstall program, nothing. I want to install Elements 9, but have found out that Elements 9 does not remove Elements 6, so I want to remove elements 6 first.

Strange that PSE6 does not show up via the control pane.
I wouldn’t worry about uninstalling it. The two versions sit happily side by side and PSE6 takes up hardly any file space compared with PSE9.

How do I remove an advertising program by the name of SmartSuggestor? I cant find it in the ad ons and I cant find it in my add remove programs on my pc.

I keep getting these stupid ads that are apparently from smartsuggestor but I cant find the program anywhere on my pc then I contacted the company and they tell me that it is a firefox issue yet i cant find it in the firefox settings either. I went into the Smart Suggestor site and the name of the extension/program came up as "No extension Found". I cant find anything that even resembles anything to do with the program at all not in the add remove program through control panel or through the extension plug ins area in firefox and was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem.
I did not download this crap then all of a sudden I am plagued with pop up adds and other sorts of advertising all stemming from this bloody Smart Suggestor. I have got myself a good pc cleaner along with a few Malware removers and also upgraded my security programming but nothing will either find nor rid my pc of this problem. I have downloaded and reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox and I am still having the same issue, has anyone else gone through this and how can I get rid of this problem?

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.

How can I uninstall firefox when the add/remove programs in control panel doesn't work, nor does opening it in the run command?

I tried to uninstall firefox using the control panel, add/remove programs. When I click on remove it does nothing. Then I tried using run, firefox, uninstall, helper and this does nothing either. Is there another way to remove it or repair it? I am using windows xp not 2000.

What is your problem with Firefox, re-installing Firefox does not normally fix problems.

How to Uninstall iTunes when not in Add/Remove

How do you uninstall iTunes when it does not appear in Add/Remove programs. For the record, I have used the Window Install Clean-up Utility as described in another thread. Although iTunes appeared in the utilities' list, and seemed to process my request to uninstall (it disappeared from the list), all iTunes program files still remain on my computer, and the icon still appears on my desktop.
Thanks - Jeff.

I figured it out.

How to uninstall NI drivers that are not removable via "Add/Remove Programs"?

Hi,
I am trying to uninstall older versions of NI MAX and DAQ drivers via "Add/Remove Programs" in Control Panels on a Win2000 test PC, but nothing happen when the "Remove" button is pressed. The same issue does not happen with any other drivers or applications installed on the same test PC. These two drivers might have been installed improperly before. Please advise how I can uninstall them without using "Add/Remove Programs"? Thank you very much for your help.
Valen

Hello LA,
The window that I have is different from the one you posted. Please see attached for mine. When I clicked on REMOVE, a message popped up and disappeared within a couple seconds. And the message is as following: "The installer is verifying the installation, please do not reboot while this dialog is being display." This same message popped up every time REMOVE is clicked but I have no luck on removing MAX.
This test PC is for legacy testing and it was with Windows 98 and have an ISA DAQ card installed that requires DAQ driver 6.9.3. Can upgrading the test PC to Windows 2000 corrupt the installation?
Looking forward for your advice. Thank you.

How to uninstall Firefox if Add/Remove programs won't work?

My Firefox is completely unresponsive. I can't get a browser or anything. I just grabbed the application folder and threw it in the trash, because the add/remove program function did nothing. I also cannot download the newest version of Firefox. It tries, but then says, "Your download was interrupted".
How can I make sure I've removed ALL of the old Firefox and what can I do to download the new one?

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

When I look in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel it reports Firefox as 5.44GB. Could this be true? If so how do I reduce the amount of space it is taking up?

When I look in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel it reports Firefox as 5.44GB. Could this be true? If so how do I reduce the amount of space it is taking up?

It is quite common for the program size listings to be wrong. To check the actual size of the Firefox installation, you can manually check the size of the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory installation directory]. It is is typically around 26-30Mb, and the default location on 32 bit Windows is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
There are also a couple of other locations where Firefox stores data, check the size of the following folders as well.
Firefox also stores user data such as bookmarks and passwords in the [[profiles|profile folder]]. It should be inside this folder C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
Firefox stores temporary files in the cache. To find the location of the cache, type '''about:cache''' into the location bar. It should be inside this folder C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
The last 2 folders are normally hidden, you may need to set Vista to [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial130.html show hidden files and folders].

How do I manually uninstall 3.5.6? Each time I attempt to upgrade to 4.0 the install program asks me to reboot which I have done numerous times. Add/Remove Programs prompts the same message when selecting "REMOVE" option.

Attempting to upgrade Firefox from 3.5.6 to 4.0 but it prompts me to Reboot to finish install. Rebooting PC does not resolve the issue. I get this message when attempting to remove via Windows/XP Control Panel "ADD/REMOVE" programs and if I attempt to execute "FIREFOX 4.0 SETUP" program.
How can I manually uninstall FIREFOX?

The easiest way of doing it is to click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''. The first time you do it, it will upgrade to v3.6.16. So you'll have to repeat the same steps to get to version 4.0.
