SpiceWorks device - software tab: How to remove manually uninstalled programs?

make sure the "Scanner sends all data instead of deltas" scan setting in the Advanced section is set to on and the Scan Speed is set to slow

I am trying to remove in SpiceWorks device information about uninstalled programs from Software Tab.
I was following advice from SW community and support but still cannot to remove from device details information about uninstalled programs. E.g. all office 2003.
I've used re-scan from Tools, removed device and scan again using Find more devices from Network scanning and deleted from machine (even from registry) but still this program appeared on the list.
Is it really no way to remove this software from device inventory or database manually?

How do I manually uninstall programs on my computer?

I have so many junk programs on my laptop and im afraid they are taking up space and they are not needed. how to i uninstall these programs without installing someething else to do so?

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper 2.0.1
    2. AppDelete 3.2.6
    3. Automaton 1.50
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash 1.8.2
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

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.

How do I manually uninstall Photoshop 7 Wiindows 7?

I have an old install of Photoshop 7 on my laptop (Windows 7 32-bit) that I am unable to uninstall. I have admin rights, but using the Windows program uninstaller tells me that I don't have sufficient rights to uninstall. The original program CD does not have an uninstall option, nor does attempting to re-install from the CD change my ability to uninstall it. A search of the web and search of Adobe's site have support documents for removing PS Elements and the CS versions of PS, but not version 7, at least that I have been able to find.
I understand the process of manually removing software and removing its entries with RegEdit, I am just looking for a document that lists all the registry entries specific to Photoshop 7. Note: just searching for any "Adobe" or "Photoshop" entries within RegEdit won't work as I have other Adobe software, including a newer versions of Photoshop that I do not want to remove, so I'm looking for a list of all registry keys that are specific to PS7, as well as, the various other folders a PS install creates. Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Are you getting this error message while uninstalling FIM?
FIM Portal and Service is trying to find a site which is not there anymore. Just add the url which FIM was looking into the Central Administration >> Alternate Access Mappings
Save and exit out from Central Administration and try to uninstall now and it should work. It worked for me.

TS3288 how do i manually uninstall intunes

i need to know how do i manually uninstall itunes from my computer?

it says that they cant find the itunes.msi
Many thanks.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

How do I manually uninstall FIM Portal and Service 2010

I installed Forefront Identity Manager 2010 as follows:
Server 1: FIM Sync Service
Servers 2, 3: SharePoint Farm, FIM Portal and Service
I've had issues from the installation. When installing FIM Portal and Service on Server 2 it failed to recognize fim sync service on server 1. We had FIM service unavailable errors in most usage scenarios (even though asmx returned service description).
I was able to use RunAs different user to start browser as the service account used to install and run the FIM service, browse to the identity management site using
http://localhost and saw the fim portal. I was never able to see the portal using DNS address or server name from the server 2 or any other computer on the network, or using any other account (although I checked the option to
enable portal access for authenticated users).
I tried to uninstall - this went through all the steps but failed during apply and did a rollback. However, subsequent attempts to change, repair or uninstall all fail with message that the site was not found, please create it...
I would like to manually remove FIM Service and Portal and begin again. How do I manually remove FIM Service and Portal when uninstall fails?
Thanks,
David Saylor

I know how to remove a installed program on a pc. How do you remove one from a mac?

I know how to remove an installed program from a pc. However, I just purchased an imac and installed mcafee security on it. It totally messed up by printer. I want to remove it from my imac. How do you do that? I moved everything I could visually see to the trash, but it is still on the imac. Help.

This from McAfee website:
Steps to uninstall:
Click Go from your Finder window.
Select Applications.
Double-click the McAfee Internet Security Uninstaller.
Check the box beside Uninstall SiteAdvisor.
Click Continue.
Enter your admin password and click OK.
Click Finish.
It appears from this that McAfee has an uninstaller. For much software there is no installer and removing it simply involves finding it in the Applications folder and dragging it to the Trash. Yes, this can leave some small files in Library but they are normally not an issue.

Old iPhone still showing up in icloud tabs, how to remove?

I recently retired my iPhone 4(iOS6) and upgraded to iPhone 5. When i did so I decided not to restore from backup and am using the install out of box. I can still see an open tab on the old iPhone when I look at my iCloud tabs on my new phone and iPad.
I already signed out of iCloud on the old phone. (although I do not belive it had a data conection when I did this) If I power on the old phone and browse in safari the tabs are not reflected in iCloud tabs on my other devices.
Is there some other step I need to take to remove the old phone from my iCloud tabs?

They should disappear after 14 days according to the latest iteration of the support page mentioned above – Set up and use iCloud Tabs.
To remove a tab from the iCloud Tabs list, close that tab in Safari on the device that shared the tab. Quitting Safari, putting your device to sleep, or turning your device off won't remove a tab from the list. If you can't access the device that shared the tab, the tab will automatically be cleared from the list after 14 days if the tab isn't updated.

FNDLOAD: How to remove a concurrent program from a request group

Hi,
I want to remove a concurrent program from a request group using FNDLOAD utility. Since impacted environment is Production (controlled environment) I do not want to remove concurrent program manually from the request group. Is there a way to use FNDLOAD utility for this purpose or some other means?
Environment: Oracle EBS R12.1.1
OS: Linux
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi,
Unfortunately this CP cannot be disabled as it has to be removed from certain RGs but not all. Also removing it through RG forms is always an option but production gatekeepers won't allow to do that. I would have done that in a min.
If FNDLOAD is not an option then I guess only other option is pl/sql script.
Best regards,
Nitin

How to remove all OEM programs and get to a base OS - W7

Is there a utility that will bring the machine back to just the base Windows 7 OS? None of the OEM installed programs are needed, or wanted.
Using Add/Remove Programs always leaves unwanted trash in the file system and registry. So is there a utility that cleanly removes all non-OS related files/registry entries?
What has been tried:
1.) Installed W7 Pro from an image downloaded from Digital River. The product key on the machine was used for installation. Activation via Internet and Automated Phone System failed.
2.) Repeat of #1 using a Lenovo XP/Vista to W7 Upgrade disk. Installation works. Activation fails.
3.) Repeat of #1 using a commercially purchased copy of Vista to W7 upgrade. Installation works. Activation fails.
4.) WAIK has been attempted with no success thus far.
Any thoughts other than Add/Remove Programs? Or a Volume Licensing Agreement?
Is there a utility? Does Lenovo have any remedy for the complete removal pre-installed programs?
We have 125 of these machines. Too many to manually go through Add/Remove and still wind up with a less than pristine OS installation.

How do I manually uninstall CS3 Master Collection?

I started having problems with Encore, then Premier Pro. The programs have been functioning OK for some years, but started to fail for some reason some months ago. When I run the Installation program to uninstall it starts off OK showing a progress bar, but after some time it fails to progress and stops. I then tried the CS Cleaner Tool, but that increased the problems, so now I can not launch the installer program at all, and I get a notification that my license is no longer valid. Seems I will need to manually uninstall all CS3 programs (Master Collection).
I have a MacPro, OSX ver. 10.5.8 (Leopard), as I´ve been told that never versions off the operating system do not function well with the CS3. (I also own ver 10.6). I´ve long time searched the internet for a solution without beein able to solve this, so grateful for any help

I cannot say I have conclusive help to offer. At one point in time a couple years back CS3 started to go flaky on me and eventually led to prohibiting me from accessing any of the products that came with it, claiming my license was not valid.
Below are some notes I jotted down that served to help me... I cannot say if they will be a help to you.
One thing that I found troubling was that there was mention of no support from Adobe for CS3 any longer at various points along the line while trying to find a solution - hard to accept that a failing license would be ignored. I think the last bit of info I show below relates to having found someone at Adobe who was willing to try to help despite that... but I managed to fix things with the first bit of info I list before that person got back to me.

How do I manually uninstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

The program crashed when using compiling the results of a distributed form.
I cannot open or compile any of my distributed forms, or even open the Tracker.
I uninstalled the program and reinstlled it, but the same problem exists.
I cannot use any existing distributed forms or create new ones.
I would like to try a manual uninstall.
Reformatting my hard drive is a last resort.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Mike
Thank you for your recommendation to use Filemaker Pro. We will be buying the program soon.
The documentation for the Microsoft Installer Clean-up tool says 1) that other programs might be uninstalled also, and 2) you should not use it if you have Microsoft Office 2007 installed on your computer. i checked out the referral link for those who have Office 2007 installed, and it gives instructions for uninstalling Office 2007.
Thank you in advance for your response.
