Question:

I downloaded a game from Game Giveaway of the Day to try it but didn't like it and wanted to uninstall it.  I can find the file under "Games" but when I tried to find the game under "Uninstall" on the C drive I couldn't find it. 

So, my question is, how can you uninstall a program when it isn't listed under "Uninstall"?  All I can do is right click and "Delete" it in the "Games" folder on C drive but, as far as I know, that doesn't uninstall it.

Any suggestions?

Hmm, is the extension to the C drive?  I know that is a basic question but I install my games on an exterior drive.  Is it in your program files at all? 

Oscar, to find the game folder I go to:

Start
Computer
Local Disk ( C: )
Games  (all the non-Playrix games I've downloaded from Game Giveaway of the Day are found here)

I can't find any of the non-Playrix games from GGotD listed on the Uninstall programs list, or under Start -->All Programs.  However, all the Playrix games I've got from GGotD are found both on the Uninstall list and in All Programs.  I find this really weird. 

So how can I uninstall all of these games, should I want to? 
 

Something weird just happened when I typed my last post.  I put some smiley faces in the middle of paragraphs, in between sentences, which I do all the time, but this time when I did it the following sentence in each case was moved down to a new line with a gap at the beginning.  Why did that suddenly happen? 

I put a smiley face at the end of the first sentence.    And the second sentence was moved down a line with a gap at the front. 

When I just previewed what I'd typed before submitting it, I noticed that there was an extra line between the paragraphs.  So it looks like there's an extra Return added after the smiley faces ! 
 

I've just posted a demo review of:

Witch Hunters: Full Moon Ceremony CE by Top Evidence Studio

Some of their other games are:

Haunted Manor: Lord of Mirrors  CE
Haunted Manor: Queen of Death CE
Haunted Manor: Painted Beauties CE
Witch Hunters: Stolen Beauty CE

I liked what I played of the demo but wasn't wowed by the game and didn't think the Extras were worth double the cost to get the CE.  It's also supposed to be short.  And most of the reviews are very negative.

I decided to put it on my PCC list but not at the top.  However, after looking at their other games again, I remember that I loved Haunted Manor: Painted Beauties in spite of all the really negative reviews, so I may have another look at the demo.  I'll play it on my mum's computer and, as I won't have to continually stop to take notes for my demo review, I should get a better feel for the game.  I'll update my demo review if I change my mind.

Should you wish to read my full demo review you'll find it in my Demo Review thread.

Well,if I understend you want to delete game but you can not find it on C :/, then do the following:
My comp-search-and type in  name of the game - enter, and let the dog find it. when there is a game and the location  just mark it and delete.I forgot, first do this:
Start, Control Panel, Folder Options: View-hidden files and folders, and mark option: Show hidden files and folders
