How to uninstall a game that don't show in Add/Remove

Hey guys, I have to uninstall Call Of Duty 4. It was installed onto my backup HDD not my main drive. It doesn't show in Add/Remove. Revo Uninstaller, Zsoft Uninstaller or Absolute Uninstaller can't see it either.

How can I remove it manually?

Or does someone know a way I can get a proggie to do it? Cuz truthfully going thru the registry and removing every key associated with it seems scary to me.

There is a little utility called add remove pro that I have used with success. I don't if that is what your post reffered to or not. If all else fails reinstall over the original and then uninstall. HTH

Is it installed as a stand-alone game, or is it within steam?

Thanks, Sgt, but it didn't work.

Stand alone.

Didn't know it was part of STEAM

Yep, you can buy it through steam like most popular games these days.

Did some searching on this topic, but I couldn't find anything.

Here's the only other option I can think of, which may or may not work:

Delete the folder for the game from the "Program Files" folder, any save game folders in "my documents" for cod4, and any folders for cod4 in:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data

Then, run CCleaner to wipe out the registry entires for it.
