Uninstall orphaned application


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

I have a problem with a Terminal Server that I have inherited. Somewhere

along the way an application has been installed (HP All in One) that I now

want to uninstall. However I cannot uninstall it as it says that it is in use

despite me rebooting the server and going for an uninstall straight away -

and there are no obvious processes running that relate to this app.

 

To further complicate the matter I fear that there is an undelying issue

with this application - the C drive is 8 Gb (I know !) but when adding up the

displayed folders it only totals 4Gb of disk space while logged in as Domain

Admin. I therefore fear that this application has been orphaned off as the

user who installed it has been deleted and the rights also being incorrect.

 

Can anyone suggest a way of uninstalling this application and therefore

reclaim this disk space back ?

 

Many thanks for your assistance in advance.

 

Brian.
