    Removal should be as simple as going to Control Panel/Add Remove Programs/ and removing it. This shouldn't cause any problems! :)

    It should be in Add/Remove, however if it's not, look for an uninstall entry in the programs Start Menu folder. ie Start, All Programs, Quicken folder, uninstall.

    If it doesn't have an uninstall, which I find strange (which program and version is it exactly), you will have to manually delete the folders and files.

    There also make a QUICK CLEAN UTILITY to remove any redundant files.

    in the Quicken folder in program files, the uninstaller application may not be called uninstaller or uninstall, it may well have a name like..... Unins000, Unwise, the icons are generally a wastebin.

    but if you cannot locate one of these uninstallers I would definatly follow Insomniacs advice above, but in addition would be very tempted to run a Registry Cleaner to remove any reminents left.
