http://www.google.com/search?q=hard delete&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8 after 5 seconds of googling. If this isn't sufficient then just reformat or don't bother trying to remove the data.

By not having Windows as your OS. Which means you can't watch SC or play on iccup.

CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/) can remove leftover registry entries and other stuff that the uninstaller didn't remove.

You're looking for a crap cleaner. The one I use is ccleaner, highly recommended by some pc magazine and I kinda declared it good enough.

http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,24149-page,1-c,systemresourcestuneup/description.html

It's free to download, just google it. Not hard to find.

Edit: someone else beat me to it.

CCleaner is really great. I recommend it to people who don't have it.

^^ Free too

Do not just delete shortcuts, delete the actual files that those shortcuts link to. Also, try pressing <shift> when deleting so its gets delete immediately (and not just go to the recycle bin).
