BleepingComputer.com: uninstalling Abe's Oddessey

My daughter downloaded a game called Abe's Oddessey and now I am unable to uninstall it. It does not come up on the currently installed programs list. I have tried to directly delete the folder but I get a message - Cannot delete Abe's Oddessey. It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.

I am stuck and would be glad of any suggestions.

Three suggestions:

1. Boot up in safe mode and see if you can delete the folder or files individually;

2. Download the free Unlocker program, which generally gets rid of
stubborn files;

Also look in Documents and Settings\YourName\Application data -
there may be other remnants there.

3. Use system restore, if you have restore points;

Then scan your computer with Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware,
for good measure.

if you press 'ctrl' and 'alt' and 'del' at the same time task manager will open - go into processes and close anything that might be related to abes oddesey - but NOTHING with the term windows or microsoft in it.
then go into the control panel and then add or remove programs. then simply select abes oddesey and uninstall it.
