I have have a terrible time uninstalling Itunes. It gives me a 2330 error. I have used Reg ed, manually removed all itune and ipod registry info and itunes folder from my programs. I still have a ipod folder that I cannot remove. If I try I get a message saying requesting to reformat my c: drive. Can anyone help.

Hi, welcome to TechSpot!

What exactly is the error? Does the computer reboot, or at what stage does the error message come, and what else does it say?

Anyway, please be sure to read the guide in my signature and to search Google and the TS forums before posting. Enjoy your stay at TS!

I am trying to uninstall. Quicktime uninstalled without a hitch. Itunes will not. Did it through add/remove froze both repairing and uninstalling. Trie sthrough program folder. Deleted itunes folder. Cannot delete ipod folder. Thats the one I get the format C: message when I try to open it. ALso installed reg supreme and tried that. All I want is itunes out of my computer.... Any thoughts?

What about this? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698

You might try going into Task Manager, going to the processes tab, and ending any processes for iTunes or iPod.

OS = Vista. I cannot install/uninstall Java. I'm getting an internal error 2330,1392 message. I cannot delete the program file...it's saying it's corrupt. I cannot open the file either. I tried CCleaner. I ran CHKDSK too. It has been working fine...then all of sudden, my programs that use JAVA won't work. HELP!!

Check the Event Viewer- looking for Errors occurring at time the error message displays for Error 2330:

Follow this path:
Control Panel Administrative Tools> Event Viewer> Click on System & Apps, one at a time on the left> look for Errors on the right> right click error> Properties> note description of error, Event# and Source.

There is a "copy" button below the up/down arrows on upper right side. Click that, then go to any place that allows you to type (ie. notepad, wordpad, this forum) and you can paste (use CTRL-V) the entire event details there. It makes for easy reporting of the event.

Or you can use these sites:

We may be able to ID the cause through this.
