The Registry holds uninstall information which is displayed in the Add/Remove
Programs window. You can get into the registry by going to Start - Run, type
regedit and hit enter. The Registry editor window will come up.

If you are going to modify the registry then you should BACK IT UP! Go to
File -> Export, under Export Range choose All, type in a file name and hit
enter.

The uninstall location in the registry is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

This location stores all program uninstall information. If you need to get
rid of your entry find the entry in Registry Editor that matches the one
you're trying to get rid of, right click on it and delete it.

If trying to remove an entry from the Add/Remove listing (Program as been
removed previously) - use TweakUi.
 
Both methods will work, only deleting the corrosponding registry key in the
first suggestion will work without having to install third-party software.
But if the main purpose is to find the hidden folder and remove it, then the
info needed will be provided in the first suggestion, I can't remember if
TweakUI also has an option to view/change the path of the uninstall item.
 
Bit scared of TweakUI, I Have used it before and had to reformat, i will try
to do it with regedit, will let you know the outcome, Thanks Jonathan.

That's hard to understand. What tweakui does is provide a graphical
interface to editing certain things in the registry. It's actually an easy
and safe way to do so for the non technical user. Editing the registry
directly can get you into trouble because you can indiscriminately change
things.
