I wanted to get rid of Limewire because I found that it was an unsafe, and illegal, program. So I went to my little folder that says “Limewire” and clicked “Uninstall Limewire.” Then it asked if I wanted to open “uninstall.exe” to uninstall the program. And I did. It brought me too “Limewire Uninstall Wizard” So I pressed next, next, next, waited for it a uninstall, and then finished. But the uninstalling process was really fast. The icon was still on my desktop. So I deleted the icon. Now, Limewire is no longer in my Programs and Features thing anymore. So, did I uninstall it?

yeah looks like it.if i want to know whether a program is uninstalled. i checked through control panel and go to programs and features.it will show all the programs you have install

Yes, but there will still be fragments of the program left. Go into “my computer/ programs”. there will probably still be a folder named limewire. right click this and choose delete. Run a registry program to clear up any remains

That was the long way of doing, the eaiest way would have been, click start going into control panel, into the add/remove program and uninstalling it that way. But yes you did uninstall it with one of the possible ways.

No. Same thing happened to me. I was uninstalling Limewire and unistalled pretty fast, but when I click the shortcut in the icons tab, Limewire is still there and running. I then checked in my programs file and it was still there. I tried to delete the folders but it didnt allow me to. It says Limewire is still running and being used by other programs but I dont have anything running. I still there!

I used add/remove programs to remove it (windows vista) and it ‘removed’ it, BUT not really! I then tried to delete the limewire folder in c:/program files but was presented with message that it could not delete (for one reason or another).
So, I rebooted my computer, pressing F8 a few times while windows began to load, that brought me into windows safe mode. From there, I navigated to the limewire folder in C:/Program Files, and deleted it. So far so good.
