Far Cry Still Showing As Installed Even Though It Isn't

[Vanchatron]

Yesterday I installed Far Cry just so that I could check out what it was like with my new graphics card. The installation got to about 99% and then said "removing backup files" but stayed like this for nearly an hour.

So I decided to click 'cancel' and the installation cancelled (so I presumed) but weirdly I was able to play the game by clicking the Far Cry icon on the desktop even though it hadn't fully installed.

After seeing what the graphics were like on it I decided to get rid of it so went into ADD/REMOVE. Once in there I couldn't find it at all so decided to just delete the 'Ubisoft' folder within Program Files. I then ran CCleaner & Registry Mechanic in the hope of getting rid of the left over registry entries.

Today I put the Far Cry disc back into the PC so that I could install it again as I wanted to show my friend this time, but instead of getting the 'Install' option I got the 'Play' option. Now this seems weird to me as I have deleted everything to do with it (as far as I'm aware, I'm 95% sure) but I'm not getting the option to Install, just play.

I have tried clicking Play and also Uninstall but whenever I click them the Autoplay screen just closes and I'm left back at the desktop.

How can I make sure EVERYTHING to do with the installation has been deleted?

just open you start menu,and click search.search for files try the game maker name in the search.if no luck try the game name in the search.then delete any files it finds that actually are files from that game.watch the search results carefully as i am sure something will pop-up that doesnt have anything to do with the game.
