Reinstall the application and then uninstall it in the proper manner using it's own
uninstaller or via Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. By "manually" removing an
application that used an installer will leave many registry entries which can in turn
become dll hell.

What is the name of the file you can't delete? Do you perhaps mean
"program"?
