    Persistant Menu from Uninstalled Add-In

    After uninstalling an Add-In, it's menu tab persists in Excel. Of course none of the functions work.
    I've scrubbed the registry, removed personal.xlsb, and even run the repair tool, but to no avail.
    Any ideas on how to remove it?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply, but it didn't work. I think it is deeper than VB - somehow it is in the menu/tab list that Excel loads. Is there a file that contains the menu entries?

    You mean you want it to disappear from the list of available add-ins?

    No, it is not in the Add-Ins. The menu tab for the add-in is still present even though the add-in is completely uninstalled and I ran the Office repair tool.

    There is not a "delete" option for Menu Items in the RMB menu.
