Question

How to uninstall a corrupt download

Nov 19, 2013 1:56PM PST

I was going to download the latest WinCalendar but spotted a much smaller download at the bottom of the page so went for that one.

cbsidlm-cbsi145-Easy_Calendar_Maker-ORG-10256865.exe

When the download was complete no less than 4 identical windows popped up to do the install.

Was told the download was corrupt but now I can't uninstall it the .exe file. Can someone help, please?

I don't uninstall a downloaded file. I just delete it from the download folder.

And then run an anti-virus program.
