I constantly hear fellow subsimmers having problems uninstalling SH3 and to be honest to avoid these issues I don't bother. I do the following:

1. Roll back SH3 Commander if you use it.
2. Delete the SH3 folder in my documents.
3. Rename your SilentHunterIII folder (the one in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft ) to whatever you want e.g. 'SilentHunterIII[Old].
4. Now put your SH3 DVD back in your DVD drive and click on install.
5. Then click on repair, which will create a stock SilentHunterIII folder.
6. Install patch 1.4.
7. Install the latest version of GWX.
8. If the renamed SilentHunterIII folder is no longer needed it can be safely deleted.

I have used this method without any issues for all past releases of GWX and other mods. I hope this helps others avoid the dreaded SH3 uninstall problems.
