Manually uninstalling a game

[Tom|Nbk]

Basically DOOM 3 dosnt want to uninstall, i get the loading bar for the uninstall then nothing, i want the whole thing off my system, Anyone know of any guides?

Easy way would be just to delete the folder, any shortcuts etc.

Of course registry will still be there, but do you really care?

Yes. I want it out the windows add/remove also.

Normally for me if I delete the folder and then try to run the uninstaller, it gives me an error message and asks me whether you want to remove the thing from the list. If that doesn't work, download ccleaner and theres an option to remove the entry from in there.

Yeah if you delete the folder then try that it normally disappears from it, well it does for me. Try it?

removed the entry with cc cleaner, only problem now is if i want to play doom 3 in the future the cd still thinks i have it installed :/

CCleaner will do it also. Manually delete the Doom3 folder and then run CCleaners registry cleaner.

EDIT: It seems you posted at the same time as me and beat me to it.
