How do i uinstall Program files\FOLDERNAME and Start menu\FOLDERNAME?

I've made a installer for my application that makes a folder in the Start menu, containing link to exe file and the uinstaller. It also creates a folder in the Program files(x86), but the uinstaller does not uinstall either of them.

some code on what im doing:

section "Uninstall"

delete $INSTDIR\uinstaller.exe
delete "$SMPROGRAMS\NAME\EXEFILE.lnk"
delete "$SMPROGRAMS\NAME\Uninstaller.lnk"
RMDir "$SMPROGRAMS\NAME"
Anyone have a clue?

Is that your actual code? I'll bet that you haven't really created a folder called "NAME" or a shortcut called "EXEFILE.lnk"

You need to post your actual code in order for anyone to see why it might not be working.

Also make sure you are deleting from the correct folder (i.e. SetShellVarContext). If you are installing on Vista/7 then you have to use SetShellVarContext all as explained here: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Shortcut..._Windows_Vista
