Can't uninstall minion

[valhalla2552]

Having problems trying to uninstall minion to get the newer version. After uninstalling from control panel, I cannot delete the .minion folder. It keeps telling me it is in use by another application and to close it. ??? Well, had to do a system restore and now minion won't even open and all of the add ons I had installed are all missing except for pawkettes scrolling battle test. I am using windows 7.
