What was the error you got.

Some errors are because the program has files missing so it cant be deleted.

the error states that the system couldn't find the specific files, i might have deleted them.

any other ways to have it removed?

Reinstall the program again, then uninstall the program to remove it.

If you have trashed the directory and program group and just need to get rid of the name in the Remove Programs, You can do this with TweakUI.

how do i remove the programs from the add/remove programs in control panel?

click start>run>regedit
goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

look under this tree for the program that cannot be uninstall and then delete it. After this, u wont see it in add&remove anymore. goodluck.
