Bah, don't give up so easily. There are a couple tools you can use to really do some damage to a LabVIEW installation. One of these tools at your disposal is your DELETE key, which does a pretty amazing job (you've proven it!); LabVIEW is much more than just a bunch of files on the hard drive.

I found a LabVIEW forum post that should be able to help you. The last post of the thread links to a document that walks you through the process of blasting the files, MSIs, registry keys, and sets you up for a clean install. The tool we use for such a manual trashing of the system is called "MSI Blast" and it's included in the reply on the original thread. With it you can find all National Instruments "installer bits" and trash them. It won't be quick, but it will be thorough.

Happy Trashing.
