If you can’t uninstall Adobe Reader X from the Control Panel , then you can remove it by using Cleaner tool released by Adobe.

There are two ways you can clean up content in a PDF: Use the Redaction tools (Acrobat Pro only) and redact using the “No Color” option. See my Redaction Guide for instructions. Use the Edit Image option and an external editor to clean up the PDF; I’ve never written about the second option previously, so this seems like a good opportunity. The Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool is a software utility provided by Adobe Labs to remove unneeded or corrupted installations of Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. A corrupted installation or interrupted uninstall can cause permissions conflicts that prevent a new installation or update from taking place. The tool can be set to remove only Reader or Acrobat components while leaving the. The correct order is to uninstall Adobe Reader via Programs & Features in Control Panel, reboot and then use the clean up tool to remove any leftovers. Hope this helps.
Acrobat Cleaner tool removes Adobe Reader or Acrobat including the preferences and settings that left over after uninstall. Adobe says their tool “designed to fix such issues by cleaning up corrupted installations, including removing or fixing corrupted files, removing or changing permissions registry entries, etc.”
