If you still have the trial software I would reinstall and then uninstall.
Do not just delete the folder under 'programs' for instance as you then
cause broken links with other areas of the computer where files for the
program are stored and when you then go to use 'Add/Remove' it can't find
them because you probably deleted it's uninstall program.
