Hello! I have a problem with my Windows 8 start menu. I need to get rid of this game entry that I uninstalled.

I have removed the program (Touch Pack for Windows 7) and its gone, but this remains. Can somebody help me? Is there like a registry key I could delete?

I cannot find it in my start menu folder.

I can't do anything from my Games Explorer directory.

Try right clicking the game on your start menu and search for open file location :)

This directs me to the Games directory, in which I cannot do anything in.

Pressing uninstall results in me going to Programs and Features, in which it does not have a uninstall entry anymore.

Hello lct01a,
Since this was a game in the "Games" explorer folder, you should be able to delete it using the method in the tutorial below.

Hope this helps, :)
