Deleting program remnants

Hi all

Ages ago I uninstalled TuneUp Utilities as I no longer needed it.
However, if I look under C:\Program files, the TuneUp folder is still there and contains only one file - sdshelex.dll

I tried to delete it under both normal and safe modes but it won't let me.
Anyone any ideas?
All I'm trying to do is a little housekeeping, but this one is a nightmare!!!

    Thanks guys - managed to get rid by wading through the registry and carefully removing references to TuneUp Utilities.
