Hi,
I've deleted GoogleEarth from my system but it still shows up in the CCleaner applications list. Any way to remove it for good?
Thanks in advance for your help.

It would have to be removed from the registry.

right. do I simply delete every mention of it? or is there a more surgical strike that I can make?
You want to get rid of the following subkeys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Google Earth
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Google Earth Plus
That should do the trick
Once you're there you want to remove the following subkey as well, if still present:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Earth Plus

Beautiful. That did the trick. Many thanks!
You're very welcome.
Next time it happens, here's what to do:
Look for the pertinent entry in your Winapp.ini (or Winapp2.ini)
In this case here's (part of) the one in question:
[Google Earth]
LangSecRef=3021
Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Google\Google Earth Plus
And as you might expect, the 'detect' line is the one to watch here; it's what CCleaner looks for when you launch it so see whether or not to display the application
