Media Monkey, how do I delete?

I have tried to delete this by going to Control panel and Add and Remove. This did not work and MM keeps popping up.

Help required, please.

When I try to remove, I get a message that the file does not exist.

    Try running - unins000.exe
    located in C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey

    Rabbir1, many thanks for the reply. Sorry to be a Dimwit, but can you be a little clearer for me? I really don't have a clue how to go about your suggestion!

    This is if your using XP, not sure about Vista.
    Click on "start",
    click on " my computer",
    double click on "c drive",
    open the folder called "program files" in there open the folder called "mediamonkey" then double click the file called "unins000.exe"

    paste "C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\unins000.exe" into box
    click ok.

    Thanks.

    I found a file called, unins000 (without the .exe) I double clicked on that and it came up with an error message, 'does not exist. Cannot uninstall'.

    You could try re-installing mediamonkey, then uninstalling it again.

    A google search offered this: (from http://www.mediamonkey.com/support)

    To uninstall MediaMonkey or install a new version, MediaMonkey must not be

    running. Occasionally however, after closing MediaMonkey, some files are

    not immediately released by the Windows Operating System, preventing files

    from being uninstalled or overwritten with new versions. To get around this

    issue:

    1. If MediaMonkey is running, close it.

    2. Wait 15 minutes

    3. Attempt to uninstall MediaMonkey or install the new version

    4. If the problem persists, then Shut Down Windows and restart your PC

    and then try step 3 again.

    Thank you both for the replies. I installed it again and then uninsalled it. I think that solved the problem.

    Thanks.
