Java WebStart - "Unable to completely uninstall application" Problem

Today I ran into an annoying problem when I needed to re-install a Java WebStart application.
When I opened up the Control Panel and Selected Add Remove Programs on my Windows XP computer, and selected the Java WebStart application I wanted to uninstall, the following message appeared:

"Unable to completely uninstall application"


After trying a few different tricks, I was able to uninstall the application using the Java Control Panel by:

1. Opening the Control Panel and Selecting the Java option
2. From the Java Control Panel under the General Tab in the Temporary Internet Files group box I clicked the View... button.
   
3. The Java Cache Viewer appears.
   I found the application I wanted to uninstall on the list.
   
4. Finally I right clicked the application and selected Delete
   
5. 

After I deleted the application from the Java Control Panel I was able to re-install the Java WebStart application and continue with my work.
