Help removing a file

Ok, my first real problem since I got my Touch about a week ago. I tried some games from freewareppc, and loaded one called "A Viking Saga". After it installed and I tried to play it, it said I needed to download a certain Windows Runtime file and gave me a link. It was a link to a Windows Mobile site, but not specifically to a file, so I thought I would just forget it, because I didn't want to deal with the hassle for a free game.

I think my first problem was how I tried to get rid of it. I just found the file and deleted it. (I know...probably stupid) Then I remembered that I should have used the "remove program files". So I went to remove program files and tried to remove "A viking Saga". It said that all of the file was not removed, but asked if I wanted it removed from the list, so I said yes. After that I see the file still showing up when i go to Start/programs, although it does not do anything when I try to open it.

Ok, so I just can't leave well enough alone, I figured if I downloaded the game again, then removed it properly, all would be well. NOT THE CASE!

This time when using the "remove program files" it said the same thing, not all files removed. Now I have TWO ("A viking saga" and "A viking saga (1)") in my program files. I used the search function and searched for "viking". Hey, I found the "A Viking Saga" zip file in My Documents, so I deleted it. Still no luck, it still shows those files when I open start/programs, but when I open program files with file explorer, it is not there!!

I feel like a complete tool, but this is really bugging me. And if it matters or not, everything is loaded into the main memory, I do not have a mem card yet. Also fyi, I once DLed total commander, to see what all the fuss was about. I removed it within minutes, because I didnt know how to use it, and I didnt want to mess anything up.

Well, there is my "A Viking Saga" Saga. I hope someone can tell me how to get rid of those files. Thanks!!
