The ones that tell you that have been partially or incorrectly uninstalled - like maybe you just deleted the program folder instead of doing an uninstall the correct way?

I have had success when I have a stubborn app that won't uninstall. Re-install the app, reboot and then uninstall. Just make sure you reinstall to the same directory that the original install was in.
