gadgets: Need to uninstall a gadget progrmmatically through code in C#

Please let me know how to uninstall a gadget programmatically. Rite now i am using this command

sidebar.exe /uninstall gadget_name

but it just pop the gadget control window, do not uninstall the specified gadget. Am I doing anything wrong with command. Plz help. Thanks in advance.

+1  A: 

Assuming the gadget isn't currently running (it has to be closed for uninstall anyway), you can just delete the gadget's folder, usually found in appdata%\local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\.

The name of the folder will be <your-gadget-name>.gadget. This is pretty much what sidebar.exe does when it uninstalls a gadget anyway.
