Unable to uninstall program from CD

Question

Hello, I installed a program from a CD onto my hard drive but into the wrong folder where I did not want the program to be located (my mistake). So, I moved all the files to the recycle bin and deleted them in order to install the program again in the correct folder. However, the install wizard on the CD now won't let me install the program because it's still installed according to Windows.

When I go to add or remove programs in Windows, the application is listed but cannot be uninstalled because I deleted the uninstall exe along with everything else.

I have scoured the hard drive for any trace files such as in appdata but it's a program from 1998 so it doesn't seem to have installed anything in any user folders.

How can I remove the program or convince windows the program is deleted so I can reinstall it?

Thank you.
