Uninstall orphaned application

    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.
