Tutorial : Completely uninstall a softmod.

There will be 4 parts:
1) I used an autoinstaller.
2) I used a 'virtual c:', used an exploitable game + gamesave/installer. (or 'What is virtual c? What are you talking about? But I did use a game to mod')
3) I didn't use a game.
4) I don't have FTP access, I hotswapped.
