Why I am Unable to Uninstall HP 7140XI Printer Software?

Hello, I have recently bought a Canon laser printer for my home needs as my HP printer was old and too rusty to work. While I configured my new printer into my Windows PC pretty smoothly, a weird thing is going on with the HP printer software. I have trying my best to uninstall it but the system just hangs for few minutes and software remains intact. I even tried deleting the files from C drive where it is located but for some reason I cannot uninstall the software. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
