Remove Phantom Programs

How do I remove programs that are listed in the "Add or Remove
Programs" interface if they have already been removed from my
computer.

For example, in the "Add or Remove Programs" interface it shows that
I have Photoshop 4 on my computer however I have already removed the
software from the computer. How can I get the computer to update the
"Add or Remove Programs" interface so Photoshop 4 doesn’t show up in
it?

Evidently you did not remove the program via it's uninstall option or
through the Add /Remove programs applet in control panel. "Tweak" provides
an option for removing program listings.
