Just had to post a note to say how impressed I am with this site. I only discovered it a few days ago and I have to confess that I am a TOTAL non-starter with computers...but very keen and willing to learn! :D I have asked for - and received - prompt help in partitioning my hard drive although I decided after sucessfully doing it, to go back to normal coz other stuff confused me! Still, I am upgrading to a faster processor and bigger hard drive in the very near future so will be carrying out the procedure again (I hope) Just wanted to say how grateful I am for the support and I will be recommending the site to all my friends - peachyglint1 
Microsoft offers uninstall tool for Visual Studio CTPs

A new tool created by a team of Microsoft Corp. developers simplifies the process of uninstalling outdated CTP builds of Visual Studio 2005 from developer machines. The VS 2005 Diagnostics and Uninstall tool automates the Visual Studio 2005 instructions and uninstalls all pre-release Visual Studio 2005 editions such as Visual Studio Express, Visual Studio Team System, Professional and Standard edition, according to a Web log of one of the developers who created the tool, Microsoft engineer Hong Gao. A Microsoft spokeswoman confirmed that the tool had been developed to uninstall CTPs of Visual Studio 2005, but said that it is not supported by Microsoft.
In an effort to make its product development process more transparent to its significant developer base, Microsoft in the past year has began offering more interim builds of the next version of Visual Studio than it previously had in the past. Microsoft recommends developers do not install these releases on production machines, according to the spokeswoman. But when developers do, it can lead to a clutter of preview Visual Studio code on a system.
