Gone stuff not gone from CCleaner

[Paultx]

I've uninstalled some programs long ago, but they still appear on CCleaner.

 

Some programs I had and uninstalled long ago but are still there:

 

Google Earth

Office2003

Office2010

Office2013

Windows Live Messenger

DivX Player

Avast Antivirus

SUPERAntiSpyware

 

The point is I expected CCleaner to really get rid of any traces from any uninstalled programs for good.

That's because allot of software leaves registry keys behind, and AppData ("Application Data") stored in the User Profile.

 

As for Avast Antivirus and SuperAntiSpyware both have an optional uninstaller tool available on their websites that should more fully remove them from the system which would include getting rid of left-over registry keys and files stored on the hard disk.

 

Edit:

Note that SuperAntiSpyware is notorious for not fully uninstalling using the built-in uninstaller!

 

Here's the SuperAntiSpyware Uninstaller Assistant:
