Have you tried to do a search on these files?
Start>Find>Files and Folders


*edit
Any game or program you install on your computer should be in add/remove programs

Heres a free program called UninstallAbility, you can d/l it here:

Another good app for removing programs is Add/Remove Pro,it displays the entries in the Add/Remove Programs list of Windows Registry, checks if each is valid, and uninstalls the selected program or removes the entry from the list.
