searching for remaining files of deleted to the Win7 registry software?

I was looking for a particular in my registry file when I found several unknown files. When clicked, I found that they went to the programs that I had uninstalled long ago. Example: Norton 360. I'm a little anxious when it comes to cleanliness and sharpness. I want my free registry files unnecessary, but I don't want to use a registry cleaner I know, that they are not safe. I am familiar with my registry and very careful.,.

I use no programs like Windows Movie Maker, and I really Visual Studio and Java, all the Svc that are lined up everywhere without any explanation as to what they are doing...  I don't use Windows Sidebar and Gadgets, do I really need taking place?

I hope that there is someone else out there who understands. :)

Unfortunately - uninstallers most are poorly maintained and leave behind pieces - probably more than the entries in the registry.

You can uninstall Windows Movie Maker if you wish.  After all - it was installed with Windows Live Essentials or similar.

What about Java - you or something that you have probably installed - if you mean Java Runtime Environment (JRE), the web plugin.  You can uninstall too - see what breaks, and install the latest version, if you want.

Regarding the "Visual Studio."<-- no="" idea="" what="" you="" mean="" there.=""  you="" may="" have="" a="" microsoft="" visual="" c++="" redistributable="" installed="" that="" got="" there="" with="" some="" other="" installation="" and="" was="" kept="" updated="" after="" that="" by="" microsoft="">

Regarding the sidebars and gadgets - as long as you have disabled, I would not do much more with them.  Although - you can uninstall them also, at their base.

Going to Panel of--> all items in Control Panel--> programs and features to uninstall first - things that you don't think you need or do not want.  I would be careful here - many things settle because your video card and software device driver need them or some other component, its application in car, etc, that was installed required him to function and there is no NOTE of that, nor is it part of any warning that removing it will be that break.

You can choose "Turn Windows features on or off ' on the left to remove might be more still of the flesh that is installed, you do not want...  Remove the default games individually, for example, expand the section multimedia features and remove Windows DVD Maker, if you don't use/want it, expand your printing and scanning, and remove Windows Fax and Scan, if you have no scanner/fax system, remove the Windows Gadget platform and perhaps the Tablet PC components if you do not use the Journal the math input panel or handwriting...

At least then we remove things safely.

Honestly - you saying, "I want my free registry of unnecessary files...". "gives me pause - because there is no files 'in' the registry.  ;-)  (Old joke... * SMILE *)

If you (after making the foregoing) want to find some orphan registry entries and want to be very careful on those who you decide to delete - although I don't recommend registry cleaners - you could use CCleaner (FREE version) to find the orphaned entries, see their list, select what you want to delete, and export State pre cleaning (although I recommend a system image backup before you start) to do this...

Note that the registry cleaning will probably do very little for space, nothing for the performance of the system and is a risk.  It's just for your own information, you would do this, the benefits being almost strictly mental.

For the most part - it is better for most of the people that they don't mess with what is installed and worry no more space on their disk unless it starts to become very low (less than 15% for small disks of 80 GB to 160 GB or less and less than 20-40 GB for the disks in this size (, IMHO.)  A little cleaning in the wrong place can have disastrous consequences and any application or individual tells you that they can guide you 100% securely through a cleanup of this type without seeing themselves - is probably play on your need to clean top and hoping for a good result * the best *.
