There are many reasons to why when a program
is "Uninstalled" that it leaves junk laying around. You
can also do a search on your system for hidden files key
words "Dlink", you know there are Registry entries, feel
free to delete, search dlink in registry and remove all
finds, aslong as younot running something else dlink
ofcourse.

Removing something from Control Panel> Add/Remove
Programs
If you have uninstalled a program but it remains on the
list in Add/Remove Programs, you can manually remove it
by navigating to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\ Current
Version\Uninstall.
You'll see a list of all the programs available in your
Add/Remove Programs Control Panel. You can simply select
an entry from the list on the left, press the Delete key,
and confirm to remove it. Close the Registry Editor and
restart Windows; the item will be gone from your
Add/Remove Programs list.
