Start your machine by the administrative account password and name and enter into the safe mode. Now go to the user account option under control panel, look for the instance of the older user account in your machine, if there is any instance is situated over then this will be flashes into the safe mode. Remove this one and reboot your machine. Now got o the program installation folder under start menu and click on the uninstall icon, now follow the process to remove the software application from the machine. Along with that remove the other files those are collaborate with the software application physically from the machine. Reboot your machine in normal mode and look whether the software is removed from your machine or not.
