I struggle to uninstall VS 2010. I downloaded and used first trial version for VS professionnal 2010. I uninstalled it (partially) after trial, but as I could not install and use new trial version for same product, I successfully installed VS express C++ 2010. Now trial period for this product is over as well, and I unintalled it. Now I am stuck: I can download neither VS 2010 nor VS Express 2010. How to entirely remove VS from computer (Windows 7). Thanks and regards.

I think the problem here is not so much removing it, but a miss-understanding of how the express versions work.
VC++ 2010 Express is 100% free, you do however, need to register it (it’ll only allow 30 days of unregistered use), but this is free as well. if you are a student, you may consider getting the professional or ultimate versions for free off of Dreamspark or the MS Academic Alliance.
If you do want totally remove it, you can remove all the components from the windows programs manager, however, removing the trail period checks would result in circumvention of the EULA (ie: you’d be breaking the law).
