I have Commandos 2 installed and eating up 2 gigs of my hd (I don't think this post should be in games, though, it has nothing to do with the game itself).
I desperately want to uninstall the game to free up space, but when I go into add/remove programs it lists the program as only occupying .79 mb, and when I go to change/remove (or uninstall from either the install cd or program files menu) my only option is to install the game. When I try to 'remove,' the process takes less than a second and I get confirmation that the selected components have been removed. It's still there, though! I want to get rid of it, not install a second incarnation of it!!!!
As far as I can tell my only option is to delete the entire game folder. I don't like when my add/remove programs list is populated with components that are manually removed, though. I have not had to do this with windows xp yet, but it looks like I have no other choice.
I don't know that much about install/uninstall. If I simply delete the game folder will I be removing everything, or does an install place files in other places as well (and if so how can I find and nuke those?). And if I just delete that folder, how can I get control panel to realize that I uninstalled the program?
Obviously I would love it if someone knew why I am unable to uninstall, but it seems I'm just screwed on that front. Any help that can be offered on my problem at all would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
