Windows 10: Uninstall leaving componenets behind

I originally relocated my profiles ... as per the instruction & advice here:
User Profile - Change Default Location - Windows 7 Help Forums

This was great until I had an OS issue and the MS repair disc will not work - MS while allowing remote profiles does not support anyy repair.
I bought an SSD and there was not enough room for OS & programs on same disc. I have Photoshop, Lightroom and several pretty large video editing programs. The advice on Windows 7 Help Forums was to put only OS on the C:\ and move the location of my folders to another HDD ... so that is route I followed.

Now SSD's are getting larger for reasonable money I could in future fit programs and OS on one disc .... though there is a concern raised by video editing that the constant read write to disc area will wear out an SSD very quickly - not sure how true that is.

My OS is around 50GB but as you know it will grow
Programs partition is currently 35GB (some more to install)

When I had these together was told that this is too large for my 120GB SSD more free space needed by windows.
So when 500GB become reasonably priced I may get one.

There are a few ghost programs I will try and delete from folder you mention ........

 

Didn't make any difference.
For example I went to: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
saw an entry for EaseUS partition master - deleted it
Checked: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
no entry there.

But EaseUs partition manager still shows in start>all apps

 

Did you reboot the PC ? because that's the only 2 places where the items stored in AllApps.

 

OK that worked ... after a reboot.

All I have now is one remaining issue with HP printer install ... I'll detail in case anybody has any ideas
>>
Initially could not get printer working as software installer is detecting 'something' and only gives option to add software not do a full install. After Hrs of fun and multiple utilities & application got it so it will print vis USB but will not set up as Wireless (as was previously) ... printer is OK as other devices print to it by wireless. A printer test utility confirm all 100% on wireless connection to my hub.

When I was trying to change USB to Wireless using chnage option on CD ... it fails with network64.msi missing ...... manually installed that from the CD and it now runs though all the steps, confirms network, confirm SSID, confirms connection to printer ... gets to 100% progress then stalls .... after a time out then advises software has stopped ... and on 2 occasions: "Specified service does not exist as an installed service"
Trying to resolve on HP forums .. full details in this post:
HP solution center failed to install on W10 - HP Support Forum - 5747829

 

What model is your printer ?

120GB is perfect and that's what I use. There must be some junk files in your C: drive. Windows OS does not take that much space and neither are the Programs installed. My OS and Programs together only around 27GB.



Programs installed. Note that the first 7's are quite large, the rest are 100MB or less in size:

 

There are no junk files - fully cleaned out everything yesterday using cccleaner

The 120GB drive was considered to have too small unused space .... advised windows needs at least 30GB spare ..... that is one of the reasons the advice was to put programs on separate HDD
There are around a dozen number of programs between 1.2 and 1.5GB and a large number between 500 and 800MB
Once 250GB (or maybe 480) SSD come down in price I'll buy one and at that time do a clean install of OS & programs

In any event ... all that remains currently is the printer issue (Wireless printing) .... its a physical connection Gige to my hub ... the wireless connection is between hub & printer. That is actually fine as other devices printing with no issue.
It is the networking element of printer install.

It is an HP PhotoSmart C410B
There is a full list of what has been attempted so far here ...

This is a minor cleanup and only delete temp files. Not good enough.

Download: TreeSize Free Portable . Run and scan C: drive then post a screen shot.

 

I followed the remove junk files steps here:
Clean out junk files in Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 | The Download Blog - CNET Download.com
Plus then run CCCleaner and elected to remove
Internet files, Temp files, Memory dumps, Log files


As mentioned I am happy the way my C:\ is at the moment and having just reinstalled all my programs onto D:\ I'm going to leave them there until I change SSD. (and/or do a W10 clean install)

The printer issue is what I need to resolve.

 

Find out what IP is assigned to the printer
Control Panel->Add Device and Printer then Add a printer. Follow the screen, might have to click on "the printer is not on the list"->Next then select add printer using IP address. On Next screen, select HP then select HP C410 Series.
