    Uninstalled a program, but remains in app list


    I uninstalled Epson printer software, but the name remains in the list. Now when I try to uninstall again a dialog box pops up, "Windows cannot find....."

    I tried Revo uninstaller, but no change. I know it would probably be OK to leave it, but would like to get it out of my list.

    Can someone help?

    Have you run Revo with the maximum registry scan option?
    It should identify the entry.
    Alternately, you can right click on the Epson and select "Open registry key" to find the location of the entry in Add/Remove programs.

    Weird. What I was using was the Windows 10 Settings>Apps to do the uninstall. This is where I get that error. I decided to try control panel>uninstall program. This way it stated the program appeared to have already been uninstalled and offered the option to remove it from the list. I did. All is good. Thanks!
