Then use ccleaner / issues to get rid of the files u deleted.

535519 2007-03-25 03:52:00 I don't blame you for wanting to remove Google Sketchup. I have found in the past that some programs just will not delete. But go into SAFE MODE and there is no problem. I just delete the folder manually normally - but I have no idea if the CONTROL PANEL Add & Remove works in safe mode. Try it.

535520 2007-03-25 04:42:00 I think I'll just kill all the files and folders via Windows Explorer and see what happens.

And then use Regedit to remove those bits too. You'll probably find thats a lot more effective than an uninstaller anyway.

It does. :)

Greg:

I wouldn't worry about the uninstall feature not working like Speedy & pctek suggest just delete all the files and folders obtaining to it.

Then do the same in the registry. (backup Reg first of course).
Most uninstallers Never remove reg keys & and sometimes folders also.
You will be getting a better clean up.

Then in the Registry delete the registry key that points to the program listing in Add & Remove Programs. go here (support.microsoft.com) if you need help
