Why can't I un-install Civilization IV so I can re-install it?

[Detective]

Well i tried to download the 1.74 patch so I could play multiplayer then it closed my game.. I then tried to re-open the game but it wouldn't allow me so I tried to un-install the game. This didn't work as I got this message:
Error Code:-5004 : 0x80041f42
Error Information:

Does anyone have a way I can un-install the game? I tried clearing the folders but unfortunately that didn't work.. Any help?

Did you uninstall the patch too? You might have to do that, since installing the patch changed the original program. You may also try just reinstalling overtop of the current installation, without uninstalling first; or try a "repair" installation - I *think* that's an option but I don't remember for sure.
