Uninstall "SQL 2008 R2 Express" (Common Files & Database Engine Shared)??

I've been trying to uninstall SQL 2008 R2 Express but no luck.

I think I didn't remove the components in right order in Control Panel..

Now, I have left with a component calll "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup (English)" which I can't get rid of..

When I try to uninstall it, it gives me an error "Warning 26003. MS Server 2008 R2 Setup Support Files cannot be uninstalled because the following products are installed:

SQL Server 2008 R2 Common Files

SQL Server 2008 R2 Database Engine Shared"

If I click OK,

it says something like "Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package"sqlsupport.msi"

at this point, it wouldn't let me uninstall nor reinstall..

Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you!
