    it is still taking up a gig of space it wont come off when I deleted everything. I got less then 200 mb of free space on my computer.

    you have to go into the program files and delete the games too.the registry delete helps you reinstall cause it doesnt know its still in there.if you dont manually go into c:\program files\what ever game you want to delete it will still be there.lol

    another thing you can try is since you got rid of thr registry.install the game and maybe it will post in add and remove then you can uninstall it the right way.i wrote you a email never wrote back.if you want to call me ill send you my phone number ok

    this is just as easy.how do you know that the game dosent feed off cdrom.therefore when you uninstall theres only a couple of kb that come out.i know the game is probably 3gb but that might be on disc,it doesnt install all that on hard drive sometimes

    the game is in add remove programs it says 998 mb right next to it. But when i try to uninstall it says need the disc. I dont have the disc I gave it away like 6 months ago.

    The disc is out of the picture. I went into the regedit thing and deleted all the files but it is still there in the add remove programs list.

    Basically im trying to get it out of the add remove programs list.

    Has no one thought of going into Program files and deleting the SimCity folder?
    It won't get rid of the registry key but who cares?
    Just delete the folder, delete the shortcuts on the desktop and in the start menu and you get your disk space back!
