I've been trying to uninstall sc2 beta like everyone else in preparation for release, but I simply can't.
I'm on windows vista ultimate 64 bit btw.
I've looked in control panel -> add/remove programs, not there. I've tried looking through all the sc2 folders in my documents, program files, nothing there for uninstall. I've tried Blizzard Entertainment/Common Files, it also isn't there. I unfortunately uninstalled BW thinking it was sc2 because it was labeled "Starcraft (2)".
I feel pretty much stuck at this point, after searching for a few hours trying to find out how to uninstall the game, while everyone else seems to be doing it with ease. Any ideas?

had the same problem
Delete SC2 beta folder.
Run CCleaner and make a registry scan, fix issues.
worked for me

Weird, when I uninstalled it i just went to Add/Remove.

If you install a new OS it usually doesn't show up there

This.
Also, it's a good idea to run ccleaner everytime you uninstall something, or even uninstall it using ccleaner's menu as well.

Thank you  I did just that, constantly ran registry scans until I had 0 issues left. Took me 3 or 4 tries to get all the sc2 ones out.
Thanks again ! now lets hope i can clean install tonight

np I read it elsewhere 
looks like it worked since you don't post!

Yeah, mostly there would be some remnants of the SC 2 beta files on your computer that's why when you use CCleaner (much effective than cleanmgr aka disk clean up) that should remove all those nasty things in the temp files and in your recycle bin.

Just download the game from the SC2 site and then use the activation key from the copy you bought.

yea this is bull. 4 hours for the dl...why isnt the dvd rom working...no run command on the cd or something? nothing comes up in my computer either, and in cmd prompts says device aint ready.

DVD ran fine for me (Windows XP/SP3)... although it's taking quite some time to install on this ancient rig. Coming up on 50 minutes now and I'm at 83%.
