Visual Studio Add-in not going away

Ok, so I demo'd Refactor Pro and Resharper, I'm more comfortable with Resharper so that's what I bought. When I uninstalled Refactor Pro I thought everything was breezy. However, now when I open Visual Studio I get

The Add-in 'DevExpress Tools' failed to load or caused and exception, woudl you like to remove this Add in?

If you choose yes, the file it was loaded from,

'C:\ProgramData\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins\DevExpressToolsOrcas.Addin' will be renamed.

I hit yes, then get:

"Could Not rename Add-in file "C:\ProgramData\Application Data\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins\DevExpressToolsOrcas.Addin"

This happens every time, I went to that location and there is not folder by that name. I searched for that file and nothing.

Anyone experience a clingy add-in?

I had the same issue with the VS.NET 2005 version and I'm not sure it is related. It was a registry problem and when i contacted the people from devexpress they send me a clean up tool.

You can try to see if there is another clean up tool for 2008 or search in the registry for the file name and remove it manually.
