Cannot uninstall NetBeans 7.3

I'm not able to uninstall NetBeans IDE 7.3 from my PC. It's showing "instance of the program is still running" even after I close all the background processes of the IDE. Can anyone help me??

For Windows and any Netbeans version,

Go to location "C:\Users\< UserName >\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\< Version >" and remove the .lock file

Sometimes "AppData" is hidden, you have to unhide.

Go to location "C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.3" and remove the .lock file BUT SOME TIME THIS FILE MAY NOT SEE, SO GO TO PROPERTIES AND DISABLE HIDDEN FILE SO AppData FOLDER WILL SEE AND PROCEED AS BEFORE

For Ubuntu users, go to /Home/.netbeans/.YOUR_IDE_VERSION there you will find .lock file and simply remove it.
