Uninstall Ad-Aware problems and who need 'permission' to delete its folder

I have Windows Vista SP2; Internet Explorer 9, automatic update on everything.  I tried to uninstall lavasoft Ad-Aware since I have Microsoft Security Essentials and should not have 2 antivirus programs face.  Lavasoft using "Uninstall" and then restart, I discovered that nothing was missing.  So I have one of the 2 programs removed manually in Control Panel.  When I tried to removong the other.  a small window pops up telli me "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed"!   Overall the program is STILL in my computer, so I tried to delete the entire folder (must have 1000 files!), but pops up a window saying that I need permission to remove these!  I'm way over my head get "approval" when I do not understand how to explain all the advice and rules;  Looks like gobbledygook!  Can someone walk me through eliminating the files in the folder (can it be done in 1 shot?) and uninstalling this stubborn program?  Right now (03:14) I'm willing to give just straight up, but don't not before giving up hope someone will come again to my rescue!  Thanks for the help!

I guess that Ad-Aware is always on the list under programs and features?
And I can assume that you tried to uninstall by clicking and clicking on uninstall?

If Yes to both...

Suggestion:
Download and run this Revo Uninstaller.
It's a free program.
It is widely used when 'traditional method' fails to uninstall.
