No uninstall in add remove programs

Can you help us improve? Resolved my issue. Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. Incorrect instructions. Too technical. Not enough information. Not enough pictures. I guess from what you are telling me I have to assume that this is not the case and this program cannot do that.

Is this correct? Ya its not gonna recover the deleted entries, but with the program folder of the program you want deleted the issues section can remove some of the junk left behind from the, improper uninstall. I thought that by going into Issues, highlighting the program I want to uninstall and hitting the "run the uninstaller" the program would be removed from my PC.

Is this not the case? YOS, Thank you for the additional information. Things are making more sense now and I can understand your comment in your original reply about manually deleting the program. You guys have been very helpful. Thanks again for all your input. If you make a list of the programs that appear in Ccleaner, you can reinstal each one, this will rebuild the uninstal registry, then uninstall will work for each one you reinstall.

Tks Chris, although this is exactly what I'm trying to avoid at the moment since the thought of installing all the various software programs I currently have on my PC is not a very pleasant one. I guess the fact that if I want to uninstall a program I can do that manually and then run the Uninstaller in the Issues section of CCleaner, should be ok for me.
