I am unable to uninstall 3.0.10 using add/remove nor uninstall. It is taking 31Gb of my hard drive.

Everytime I click "remove" from control panel Mozilla Firefox 3.0.10,it flashes and nothing happens. Tried the Firefox helper.exe in the uninstall folder and it only flashes. Still taking up 31Gb of my hard drive.

It is unlikely to be using 31Gb, sometimes the about of disk space reported by the Windows control panel's add/remove programs dialog is very inaccurate. The Firefox 3 program takes up about 25Mb

You can manually remove Firefox by deleting its files and folders as shown here - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
