How do i uninstall a deleted program app from the Apps and Programs list?

ColdPressCoconutOil

I deleted a program from my storage recently, but when i go through my apps and programs list on windows settings, i can still see the program there. When i try to uninstall it, it says "Windows cannot find 'C:\xxxx\xxxxx\unins000.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." 

Any idea how i can remove the program listing from the apps and programs list? it annoys me to see it on there knowing that it is of no use.

😕

You use a time machine to go back to before you decided to nuke the applications' folder and files from Program Files. Since time machines don't exist, you do what @ET_Explorersuggested and reinstall the program, then uninstall it properly.
