Seems not to be a question related to Thinkpad, but a general one.

Anyway, try to find the target direction of the installation program (usually under "C:\Program Files" with the name of the software or company as an extention) and remove all files.

You might try "regedit" to remove some useless registries of these softwares if you are an advanced user. But be careful.

...which is why it was posted in the general section. try ccleaner, it may get rid of some junk, plus tons of other stuff you just don't need.
