Default Neating up and eliminating old game titles

There alot of files I have absolutely no idea about and so i put them in a temp folder for now. I have absolutely no idea which ones I can delete or what they are for to put them in an appropriate folder. What can I do??

I also noticed that in my add/remove list has a couple of games listed that I uninstalled a while back. When I try to reuninstall file can not be found. When I try to delete the name from the list I just can't. What should I do cuz I keep running ccleaner and its all cleaned out tired.

Well either you can take a screenshot of what is listed in teh folder and we can tell you or use WinRar, 7Zip or WinZip and archive it up and upload it to a site for someone to download and tell you if it is safe to delete them or not.

As for those entries how did you remove the games? By just deleting the folder? Or did you use the Add/Remove Programs?

I know that some games had downloaded twice when I was having problems with my comp which is how I ended up with the problem of deleting. I don't remember which ones but, some I had just deleted but most I did the uninstall.

I'm thinking I'm gonna have to download again to uninstall. Is that what you would do?

The other file stuff I'm gonna deal with tomorrow its late and I'm tired sitting here since this morning. Thx luv.

Alright if you are on XP get TweakUI. It should allow you in its options to remove these items from the Add/Remove programs list.

Mak213 or Maki (lol),

Guess what I learned today. Instead of getting TWEAKUI I accidentally came across deleting those old listed games through CCleaner. You should be so proud of me. I'm slow with this comp stuff but I'm stubborn when I have a set goal to clean and set this puppy up correctly.

Now I'm going to do the other stuff ya directed me to do.

One question about screenshot how do I post it in here?

Just call me Mak.

Uploade the image to Imageshack.us, Photobucket or some other site. Then you should get a image code for forums which start off with something like this:

[IMG]

Then it will have the url in there and end with [/ IMG] without the space.

The just copy that and place it in your post.

They look alright to delete to me. I dont see anything that rings out as a system needed file.
