Booting problem with my laptop

[Jonathan pls]

Hey bitches, i'm posting this on behalf of my brother:

So this is my problem:

Long time ago i decided to delete solidworks (3d modeling program) but i deleted it by deleting the program files(x86) folder.
Now when i start up my pc, solidworks updater pops up, and tries to update stuff. It can't, bacause there is no solidworks program files(x86) folder anymore.
It is very annoying because my laptop now takes longer to start up. There is another solidworks folder, in the program files (not x86) but that is undeletable, very weird. Every time i try to delete it, it says the folder is in use.
I tried deleting the solidworks thing through msconfig, but its not there. I also tried finding the services that are using solidworks, found 3:
svchost.exe, but when they are disabled i can't delete the folder either.
Also i tried editing the registry, and deleting solidworks stuff from there, no result either, still the popup after boot.
Now the weirdest part: the folder only contains fonts.

So, can y'all help me with deleting this stuff? I just want anything solidworks related gone from my pc.

Start > run > msconfig.exe > startup tab > find the program and disable it?

That or you could reset your brother's laptop to factory settings lol

Also if it's not listed as a startup item, it could be a service. Just search for "services" in Windows and you'll find the list.

p.s. next time when uninstalling use revo uninstaller to make sure no traces left.

Alright well then it's hard to help.

Maybe at %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup?

maybe just remove it through programs and features? else use a program called cleaner it can do some stuff too.
