Problem with uninstalling to upgrade

I apparently have a version of Calibre so old that I have to uninstall my version to download and install the new one. Problem is, not everything got uninstalled, and I can't delete the folder, like the instructions say.

I can still find the "uninstall.exe" file in the program, and when I hit it, I get an Application Error. Under "details" it says:

I have tried deleting the undeletable files one by one--but they tell me Access Denied and won't delete. I can MOVE them--but only into the main Program Files folder, so I can delete the calibre folder after I move everything, but about half the files will still be on my system. Is this going to cause problems?

I'm trying to do what I've been told to do, but it won't do it. Now what???

Also--I do not have much computer savvy, so I need a simple explanation. Thx.
