How do I find uninstalled programmes?
I uninstalled a program thinking that I didn't need it. I didn't delete it, I just uninstalled it. Where do I find uninstalled programs on my computer, I can't find them anywhere?
I want to find this program so that I can reinstall it again.
Thank you. I am using Windows Vista if that is any help.

I am Pretty Sure that it is impossible to get back an uninstalled program. OR! i just came up with a cunning idea. Go to control panel and restore your computer to a earlier date. This way everything that was put on the laptop in that time will be removed and everything REMOVED will be replaced! whoola there you go!

As we all know that it is normal to uninstall a program from Add/Remove programs list. But most of the time, some program will not list/be uninstalled from Add/Remove programs or with its built-in uninstaller. At this time, it is very necessary to uninstall it with a professional uninstaller to prevent some left-over files in the drives or registry. Of all the uninstallers I have used, Perfect Uninstaller is the one that I love so much. The "Force Uninstall" function allows us to uninstall programs that are not in the Add/Remove programs list, which is very suitable in uninstalling corrupted program. So wish you good luck!

Uninstalling IS deleting it, just a more thorough way than by just canning the program directory.
Sorry, but it's gone.

Go to Control Panel on your Start menu. The go to Add or Remove Programs and it'll give a list of programs you want to uninstall.

If you only did it recently you could always use System Restore to go back to before you uninstalled it.

if you uninstalled it it doesnt need to be deleted its like an auto delete. you need to go online to find what it was and reinstall it

usually in my computer/program files or documents/downloads go into start/search and type the name of the program there and search everywhere that will surely find it.
