Bit of a stupid thing Ive done, when installing

Bit of a stupid thing Ive done....

basically when ive been installing applicatiosn rather than just deleting "c" and changing to "e" Ive been selecting the E drive from the drop-down box.
Now my e-drive is a mess of folders and files, Ive tried uninstalling some programmes that i know link with certain files but this still hasnt removed them.
Will reformatting that partition be safe?

I understand sometimes even if you install on "e" it can still install compenants on "c"...so yeah is it actually safe to reformat the partition or can poeple think of a way round it? apart from living with the mess?


(in other words instead of something like c/program files/applicationx it basically just turned in e/)

edit: beofore i unistalled a couple, i moved all the stuff into a folder, this ofcourse has messed up the running of things....atleast the ones i tried.

edit2: would installing everything then formatting, then reinstalling work?

edit 3: ok, other i installed onto the same place, and moved in the program mess file appear to work, may have just been that one.
