How can Revo be used to uninstall a product using only its Program Files (86) folder location?

How can Revo be used to uninstall a program using only its C:\Program Files (86)\ folder location?

This program no longer appears within the Programs and Features List or the Programs list on the Windows 10 computer but continues to run.

The only information I have on it is its program folder location within the C:\Program Files (86)\ folder.

Where do I go within the Revo uninstaller program to enter this program path to have this unwanted program completely uninstalled?

Have you tried?  If Revo cannot find the program and it is running, then what I would do is a Repair Install and Keep Everything. This will either eliminate the program (because it is not there) or put it back in Programs and Features.

Windows 10 is running, so click on the Download button (not Upgrade Button, select Open (Run) but NOT Save. Allow the program to run. Allow drivers to update. Then select Keep Everything.

I followed Nobus' suggestion and was able to successfully uninstall the program.

I also emailed Revo tech support and it looks like the feature I am looking for is only available in the registered version of the product or during the 30 day demo of the full product:

First and foremost, if you are currently using the free version, we recommend that you use Revo Uninstaller Pro, as it has improved scanning algorithms and more features in general.

You can download a fully functional 30-day trial of Revo Uninstaller Pro from the link below:
https://www.revouninstallerpro.com/download-professional-version.php

If you see the unwanted program listed in Revo Uninstaller Pro, you can try a standard uninstallation: select the program, click the Uninstall button, and follow the Wizard's instructions.

If you don't see it listed, you can try our Forced Uninstall feature:
- start Revo Uninstaller Pro;
- click the Forced Uninstall button;
- enter the program's exact name and/or use the Browse for -> Folder button to point to the program's folder;
- click Next.
Revo Uninstaller Pro will scan for any files and Registry entries related to the program, and will give you the option to remove them.

For more information about Forced Uninstall please refer to our online user manual:
https://www.revouninstaller.com/online_manual/3_uninstaller.html#3.4

Alternatively, you can right click the program's folder in Program Files, and select "Uninstall with Revo Uninstaller Pro".
thank you for the feedback - glad it worked for you
