Uninstall a program without any program files

I accidentally and unintentionally installed an adware called MusiCalm. I directly deleted the program files located in users/Edward/appdata/roaming, without going into the windows program list and uninstalling it there. Now, I can't remove it from my programs list, and every time I try to uninstall it, it says unable to uninstall because it is missing the uninstall.exe file. Do I have to redownload musicalm to uninstall it?

Hi there EdwardZhang3, I will be your Independent Advisor for today, I hope we can both resolve your problem.

Please do not re-install the adware, instead download the freeware called Revo Uninstaller Pro, this will force that program to get uninstalled off your PC.

Click on the link below to download and then install the Pro Trial version, once its installed go over the list and look for the MusicCalm application, then right click and uninstall, it will initialize the removal of the software by calling out the uninstaller of the MusicCalm itself but since the program files are no longer there it will give you an error, you may continue with the removal from Revo then it will give you the list of Registry keys you need to remove that is associated with that application just select All and then delete, then click Next, then it will list all the remaining files associated with that app, select all then remove. then click finish. Restart your PC and see if you still have that app listed in your programs, then you may uninstall Revo Uninstaller Pro.
