    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=76 thats the techniqual help forum for next time,

    but anyways, if you deleted the desktop icon, then the game is still installed (because that was just a shortcut to the file, not the real file), you will need to click unistall on the launcher. If the launcher dosent even come up then its a bit beyond my skills to fix

    Uninstall and reinstall under a different folder name(ie if this one was installed under The Creative Assembly, install it under a new folder called CA), as if you just reinstall it problems can occur.

    Alternatively you can delete all the files, not just the icon(noob :p). Its useful to have a tool that can search out these files manually. However im not entirely sure just deleting all of the rtw in the program files folder is sufficient.

    You could try completely clearing your computer of everything :p

    There is a function of hp( if you got that) that you can restore you're computer to an earlier point. I had the same problem as you do now so just fix your computer to a point before you deleted it.

    I will move this to the Tech Help forum.

    Before you reinstall make sure to delete the entire RTW folder from your HDD. By default it should be in
    C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome Total War . If you are running in steam it will be in C:\Program Files \Steam\steamapps\common
