C# executables on my workstation

Question

When I am calling a process in C# 2008 some executables are located and executed instead of the executable I am tyring to run. Thus these old executables must still exist on my workstation since those paths look familar to me. Due to this fact I have the following querstions to ask: 1. What would cause these executables to still exist? In the application I am working on what do I need to do to make certain more executables are not created? 2. How do I locate the existing executables that are on my workstation? 3. How do I remove (delete) these executables from running?

1. It sounds like you've changed the file path where the executables are installed but forgotten that the previous executables still exist in their original locations. 2. You can locate them by clicking the Start button and typing their name into the search box. Windows should then list all files on your machine with that name. 3. They can be deleted by right-clicking on their names and selecting Delete from the drop-down. However if the executables have been installed in their own folder (possibly including support files) I'd make such you delete the whole folder and not just the executable itself.
