Can you give us an idea what the program is?

Do you happen to know what "installer type" was used to install and now uninstall?

5.2 Uninstalling the SAP Front End
Prerequisites
Make sure that SAP GUI for Windows 7.10 applications are not running at uninstall time. If an application is running during the uninstallation, the user is prompted to reboot afterwards.
Procedure
...
1.
Choose Start  Settings  Control Panel  Add or Remove Programs.
A list of the installed applications appears.
2.
Select SAP GUI 7.10.
3.
Choose Remove.
4.
Choose Next.
Result
SAP GUI for Windows 7.10 is uninstalled and a log file is generated.
To perform silent, unattended uninstallation, enter the following commands:
NWSAPSetup.exe /Product=”<product name>” /Silent /Uninstall for uninstalling a certain product, for example SAPGUI710
NWSAPSetup.exe /all /Silent /Uninstall for uninstalling all SAP components installed by SAPSetup without having to call specific command-lines for specific products
You find more information on this in section 5.5 Command Line Parameters.


I found this on the SAP website pertaining to SAP GUI frontend version 7.10 for Windows.

They also have information in regards to the SAP GUI for Java but I was unable to find any "uninstallation" information.

Hope this helps,
