Off topic but do you mean install data got corrupted so it does not show up in control panel programes & features?

If so & you have an aftermarket program to keep your system running efficently try it they are often better than what comes as standard. Try cleaning the registery first if it does not show.

Otherwise do the following
1) Use a registery cleaner CCleaner is quick & free so download & clean the registry.
2) Use windows explorer or whatever you use & navigate to the folder you installed it in, delete it & all its contents.
Check first if it looks like it saves games in there if not or unsure also go to the following & check for.
C:\Users\Default\Saved Game & the same for your user name i.e.
C:\Users\USER NAME(S)\Saved Game
3) Delete any shortcuts to in start menu or icon on your desktop.
4) Now clean the registry again.

Note when you clean the registry always keep doing till it finds nothing clearing stuff on the first pass often uncovers more errors.

Thats it there might be a couple of librays left on your system but no need to worry.
Whenever you uninstall anything you should always at the minimum check its folder & shortcuts are gone & then clean the registry most stuff does not uninstall fully.
