How do I remove a program that was not unistalled but deleted?

Skyee · Dec 28, 2009

My little brother was using my laptop and playing around w/ photoshop. Unfortunenately he deleted it w/o me knowing and not knowing it was inside my recycle bin accidentally deleted it.

I want to install it again but the uninstaller won't pop up and the photoshop files are all gone but it still shows up in the programs and features.

Any help or ideas?

Hello, Welcome!

Try searching for the program in the start menu. Then you can create a shortcut to it on the desktop.

Hello Skyee,

Did he delete a shortcut of the program or the program itself from within "Programs and Features" or the program's "C:\Program Files" folder?

If just the shortcut, then you can create a new shortcut directly from the exe file in the programs's "C:\Program Files" folder

If he deleted the program itself, you might see if using one of the options in the tutorial below can remove the uninstall entry for that program, then see if you can reinstall the program.

Hope this helps,
