I Can’t Uninstall a Game through Add/Remove Programs Tool

Asked By oldboy 80 points N/A Posted on - 08/13/2011

Hello,

Last week I installed "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit" on my PC.

But I don't know for some reason, the game was playing very slow on my computer. So, I decided to uninstall it. But when I tried to Uninstall it, using the Add/Remove Program Tool in Control Panel, the Name of the game was appearing in the Add/Remove Program List, but "Uninstall" Button was not appearing. The Strange thing is, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is the Only Program, for which the Uninstall Button is not appearing. It is too frustrating because the game is occupying more than 6 GBs of my Hard Drive. I really need your help. I'm using XP.

Please Tell me:

1. How can I Uninstall it,
2. How to Bring the Uninstall Button in Add/Remove Programs Tool, when it is not appearing.

Thanks.

You can try to restart the computer and then open add or remove window and then check whether the uninstall button is showing or not. If not, then you can directly go to c drive and open the program file folder. search for the folder need for speed, then delete it directly. You'll regain your 6GB of space. It won't affect your computer. These is done by many people.

Thanks.
