How's everyone doing...

Got a question regarding a couple of programs that are still half installed onto my computer and can't figure out a way of getting rid of them. One of the programs is over 150MB of wasted space. Tried uninstalling the program with no such luck so then i found the program in my program files folder and tried to delete it manually and my computer won't let me? Any ideas of how to override my computer and let it delete the unwanted stuff?

Thanks
LJ

What are those programs?
First thing to try is to reinstall the program over the top, and then try to uninstall it again.

Try Revo: http://www.revouninstaller.com/, first.
If it won't work, since the programs were never fully installed, you can simply delete programs' folders.
This may/may not produce some computer errors as the aftermath, but those can be pretty easily fixed.
All, you need to do is to post back here, if any problems arise.
