Reset my PC, programs left over in start menu

[Matt C.]

I recently had to reset my PC due to a blue screen of death. After the reset, I noticed that my old programs are left over in the start menu, but with a generic program icon and clicking on them does nothing.

 

Here is an example.

 

I want to remove some left over programs, such as the ones shown above. Right clicking and hitting uninstall just takes you to the control panel, and they don't show up at all. I know that you can reinstall them and then uninstall them, but I'm wondering if there is a faster way.

 

Any help will be appreciated, thank you very much!

Right-Click on one of the program, Select "More" > "Open file location".

It will open File explorer exactly where the program executable shortcut are stored. Select the ones you want to remove and hit Delete.

Thank you, that worked perfectly!
