Assuming no anti-virus can remove it (I hope you do have an anti-virus) - try to delete the folder while in safe mode.

im 14 on my grandmas comp. so what will this do

Ok, try this:
- Restart your computer.
- When the computer starts you will see your computer's hardware being listed. When you see this information press a couple of times on F8 to access the boot options menu.
- Choose safe mode.
- Try to delete the folder and everything else that is connected to that software that you have installed.
- When you finish, restart you computer again, this time let it boot normally.
In safe mode things might look a little bit different regarding resolution, don't be alarmed. Hope that this helps.

Try restoring your machine to an earlier date. This might fix the problem. Type in System Restore into the Start Menu to get the app started.
Its worth a try anyway

Well their might be one last resort.
First,
Did you just deleting a folder, or uninstall the program the first time?
You might want to try and re-install the program the same way you did the first time.
Then uninstall it the correct way.

I reccomend Revo Unistall. It is a free app that not only uninstalls the selected program but then searches for left over folders and registry items and gives you the opportunity to remove these as well.

You can uninstall Revo Uninstaller using the built in uninstaller for windows. I have also seen the program doing a self uninstall.

If revo couldn't remove it do it manually. If something prevents you from doing this check out another favorite freebie of mine: Unlocker

how do i find safe mode on an asus computer tower
As long as you are running Windows, entering safe mode has only way (computer build doesnt matter) and that is by pressing the F8 key right after POST. Or keep pressing F8 right after the splash screen. Once you do that, you should get a list and at the top of the list is Safe Mode.
Good luck
