Downloaded a trial version of DISKdata and decided I didn't want it so I had
windows uninstall it. Which it did.

However, if I right click the Recycle Bin I find DISKdata is still there.

No big deal I guess but I hate it when programs leave junk behind.
Wish I knew what folder it was in so I can see if it is gone of it that is
left behind too.

Any idea how I can get rid of that menu item?

Thanks

If this is a right-click context menu item you mean, use the free
ShellExView to delete the entry.

As for any questions relating to DISKdata, you'd have to ask their tech
support.
