The Legacy 4.0 Uninstall uses the file called Install.log located in your Legacy 4.0 folder. If you deleted this file or if you moved this file then the uninstall would not know what to do during it's uninstall and this may be why it still thinks it's installed on your C: drive.
We use a registry setting to tell us where Legacy was installed to. The setup program checks for this and if it exists then it knows that it's been installed before and then performs an Update install rather than the full install. To remove this registry setting try installing again which will install to the location you first installed to. In your case to your C: drive. Then uninstall which should remove the registry setting so that the next time setup is run you will then be prompted for the location to install to.
