    Deleted Items Remaining in Start Menu


    I have noticed some folders in Start Menu of programmes long deleted, but cannot remove them. Any ideas of how to clean up Start Menu? I found one particular folder of a programme I deleted maybe 5-8 years ago??

    strangely enough Dalchina, Glary is one of the extinct folders

    this image shows the Glary empty folder still in situ after using CCleaner

    Hi, go to
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
    and
    C:\Users\-----\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

    and remove them from there.

    Or you could use Open Shell (free) as an editor... even if you don't want to use it as a start menu.
    Hint- Open Shell makes accessing those folders easy.

    Then there are programs like Glary Utilities (see option bottom right)

    - and Ccleaner has a Start menu shortcuts option.
