FYI, the issues you are seeing are not necessarily bugs, they are the result of you using 11 year old software on an OS that is either 1) not 32 bit or 2) not XP , Vista, or Windows 7. Go back now and try to run Windows 10 on an old Pentium, 486, or 386 processor. Is Windows 10 buggy if it won't run on hardware that was outdated at the time the OS was developed?


Components can be deleted and when you delete them, they go to a Trash Bin which you then have to go clean up. However, if PEP2 is failing to delete them then you likely have permission issues with the ProntoDataService which is a Windows 32 bit service that manages the Component Database.
