How can I remove a program file from incompatible app in Window 8.1? I tried to install Quickbook but the program won’t install because of compatibility issues, but when I check the task manager and the program is there. I tried to uninstall the program, but it was in the program list. Why is the prog file on the system when the prog didn’t install on the system?

Hello,
It appears as though the program partially installed. Acquire a system “cleaning” (e.g., Ccleaner) utility to remove all files of the partial install using an uninstall feature. If the uninstall feature fails, use the file wiping feature. Also, reboot after attempting to remove the file. Sometimes the system holds the file in logs after it has been erased. If the file still remains, it is possibly a trojan, which requires antivirus software (or a full wipe and reinstall) to manage the file.
