I recently uninstalled internet explorer but it's stills showing up under windows in cleaner. Is there anyway I can remove that?

Well, No.

Internet Explorer, as well as Windows Media Player and many others, are part of the Operating System.
You can uninstall upgrades to these programs but their original versions will always be kept.

Why? Well, for example, the only way to get to "Windows Update" through a browser is with Internet Explorer.
