How do i uninstall a software ?

I installed a software (trial version) and uninstalled it after 30 days. I re-installed it again and it still says "it expired" How do i uninstall it completely from the registry and any traces in the machine and make the software work again?

    You don't. The only way would be to re-install Windows. The info about when the trial was first installed and when it expired is not stored in the registry. It is stored as data in an already existing Windows file which if you could find and edit then you would be a computer god. That info is not changed when you uninstall the program.

    Go to Control Panel > Program >Uninstall a Program > Find the name of your program and double click it, this will uninstall that software completely from the registry and any traces in the machine
