    How to remove double entries same program in uninstall software


    Hello,

    I have two identical entries in the "uninstall and change a program" list.
    No disaster, but just wondering how that can happen?

    And another program that has been overwritten (not uninstalled) by a newer version: how can the old entry be removed from that list?

    Windows 10 -1903

    Thanks!

    Regards,

    Kees

    :)

    Windows Mobile 6.1 . I cannot remove Uninstalled Software from Apllication Uninstall list

    This worked! This was the only place left that the offending entry seems to have existed which made it appear in the uninstall programs list. Thanks so much! After doing all the registry editing that was suggested in this thread, THIS WORKED! Of course,
    one will want to delete the rogue registry entries as well, but this is the step necessary to remove it once and for all from the uninstall programs list. Thanks again!

    Yes, the install was corrupted the first time you tried to install it most likely. Now the system does believe it is installed and/or can't find the Uninstaller; however, the program scanner can still find the program folder.

    Does the software work and just listed repeated? If so, use CCleaner. Under tools and Uninstaller (I think) you can delete the install listing with uninstalling anything.

    If the software does not work, then you are going to have to start the uninstaller from something else like Ccleaner, directly from the program folder, or some other third party app. Then reinstall the software after a restart.

    If that fails. Delete the program folder and user folder (Optional). Then run the uninstaller. It will say software not installed...blah blah, remove this listing? Click Yes. Then restart, reinstall.
