I installed the HP Print Scan Doctor a long time ago. However, I don't have the printer anymore and so I deleted the .exe file and the folder containing it. Even though I uninstalled it, it keeps waking my computer up, as I've checked in cmd powercfg. I've no idea where this program is, as even the file location in task scheduler shows a folder that doesn't exist in my C drive. I've even used third party applications to try and remove it to no avail. I've reinstalled it to uninstall it later but this didn't work either. Please help.

It exist in two areas I'm having the same issue trying to rid myself of this application . It will be in this path of your files
( This pc , windows c , program files ( x86 ) , HP , Diagnostics , PSDR )
Also it is located in ( This pc , windows c , program files , HPPrintScanDoctor ) . For me when I go to delete because there is no uninstall option . It just keeps saying it is unable to uninstall because it is in use by another folder ???
