Uninstall Issue / VB.NET deployment on Vista

Hello Everyone!

Anyone have any ideas on why I can not remove a VB .NET application
from Vista OS?
I have an application built using an Access Database. When I remove
the software using the Program Management Tool in Control Panel it
appears to be removed. Upon reinstalling the package, somehow Vista
is not using the new database and is still using the uninstalled
Database. I am aware of VB Setup Project properties to overwrite
previous installations but do not know why this is happening.

Its almost as if Vista is holding the files somewhere else and my
folder in which I deploy my software means nothing.

Any help is appreciated.
