Cannot uninstall Parallels 4

I have Parallels Desktop Version 4.0.3522.205912 and I am trying to uninstall it as I've been having problems with my Mac going to sleep and I'd like to rule this out as the cause. My MacBook Pro 2.2Ghz is running OS X 10.6.2

I have opened the "Uninstall Parallels Desktop" application on the DMG but when I receive the following message when attempting to uninstall "Uninstall Failed" "The Parallels Desktop is not installed"

The application itself has not been moved so that it reside at root level in the Application folder so I have no idea what is happening. I have also repaired the disk permissions and restarted my Mac but still nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Is something actually supposed to happen if I type the following into Terminal? As I've done all of this and absolutely nothing happened. Parallels Desktop remains in the Applications folder and all prefs etc etc remain in place! This is very frustrating - I just want to remove this Application!!!

cd /Library/
sudo rm -rf Parallels
cd /Library/Preferences/
sudo rm -rf Parallels
cd /Library/StartupItems/
sudo rm -rf ParallelsTransporter
cd /System/Library/Extensions/
sudo rm -rf prl_hid_hook.kext
sudo rm -rf prl_hypervisor.kext
sudo rm -rf prl_vnic.kext
sudo rm -rf prl_usb_connect.kext
sudo rm -rf prl_netbridge.kext
cd /Users/alan/
sudo rm -rf .parallels/
sudo rm -rf .parallels_settings
