I have just bought a second hand computer from a friend and in the program files on the C drive there is a folder labeled Nero7 which I want to delete. However, it won?t delete.

I have tried the Nero Clean Tool but when I type in the file path from the folder ie; C:\ProgramFiles\Nero7\NeroBackItUp the Clean Tool shows a dialog box ?The selected path is invalid? I clicked OK and tried just clicking ?Clean? which went through various stages but didn?t remove anything.

Can anyone help please

Thank you

Joe

I have a similar problem. I downloaded the Nero 7 Clean Up Tool and removed everything on the list. However, there are still many components in my Nero 7 folder under Program Files such as Nero BackItUp, Nero WaveEditor, etc. What can I do to remove every component of Nero from my hard drive? Thanks.

right click on the folder nero and delete it.

also can go in REGEDIT via run command and delete all instances of nero in there too.

Nothing here to see, move along folks.

Thanks for your replies. Have tried right click and delete but get "cannot delete mfc7u.dll. access is denied" I tried moving the dll file to an external drive, tried again and it brought up another file with the same message....ad infinitum.

Have never looked inside the registry so unfortunately, I don't know how to go about deleting NERO entries. I worry in case I slip up and do something which would affect my system.

Hi Rotary,

Under regedit, should I delete the entire folder that contains Nero entries, or only that entry with the word "Nero" in the data column?
Thanks.

yes, but just do a second scan as regedit isnt perfect on searching...
