Very often when i uninstall some software from my PC, then even after it is completely ininstalled, some of its file and folders are still intact in C:\Program Files. These files and folders dont get delete manually. Can any one plz let me know how to delete these unwanted files from C:\Program Files.

I have tried DAP file shredder but as soon as i drag the folder in to the file shredder a msg appears saying that " needs authorization for access" . Isn`t there any other way out to this problem?
