Hi,
You could also remove it by clicking Start, then Run (if not using Vista) and entering the
following:
msiexec /x {B1403D7D-C725-4858-AACC-7E5FA2D72859}
and press Enter.
Although, since the original poster has already removed the folder, Messenger may need to be
reinstalled first for a successful uninstall.
The Windows Installer cleanup would also work as suggested (although albeit not as clean as a
method), which can be found here:
