You can delete them by going to the program files / badgehelp folder.

But does this uninstall remove them from your computer or just from the folders?  I have a laptop that doesn't have much space and need to save space where I can with things that I don't use.

Badgehelp has made a walkthrough to remove the cheats and a program that cleanses your computer

http://www.badgehelp.com/delete.html

Once you've done this if (for windows xp, don't know how to on Vista) you may want to remove registry entries if there are any left -

Start - run - regedit - hk_current_user - software - then search down the list for the auto and/or the badgehelp file if there is one and delete

repeat on hk_local_machine.

These programs are so tiny that they are not going to affect the performance of your laptop.

Why don't you download something like revo unistaller which is free for home use and remove unused programs properly (It removes all traces from your machine even files that most programs leave behind).  There is also an option to remove deleted files.
It sounds strange-ish but when you delete a file is doesnt get removed from your computer, this program removes it completely and clears the space on your hard-drive.  There is also a lot of other options to help maximise your space.

After doing this and any other clearing methods (ie temp int files) don't forget to run a disk defrag.

Hope this helps.

I would advise against trying to delete files from the registry. If you don't know what you are doing you can really mess up your pc
