I think you did the wrong procedure for it... I don't know what to do but you need You might now need to reinstall at the same place & then uninstall it from ADD/Remove it from there. I hope this will work....! & then you will be able to delete the file you are not able to delete from in it..!

I don't know about it but the above solution is correct otherwise there is another solution for it... Just boot into the safe mode with windows & then delete the folder from there where you want to remove it...! It will delete from there...!

Also there is a way to do it but for that you need to edit Registry & Editing Registry Editor is a crucial part & may lead to a problem if any error. Go to Registry Editor & then find the software name in it using find option then when it finds there delete it & find again then one by one delete each one in it... This will delete all your entries in your computer for that software...!
