How to remove apps and programs Windows.

How to remove apps and programs Window.

  1. Right-click in the screen’s bottom-left corner and choose the Control Panel from the pop-up menu.
  2. When the Control Panel appears, choose Uninstall a Program from the Programs category. The Uninstall or Change a Program window appears, listing your currently installed programs, their publisher, size, installation date, and version number. To free up disk space, click the Installed On or Size column header to find old or large programs. Then uninstall those forgotten programs you never or rarely use.
  3. Click the unloved program and then click its Uninstall, Change, or Repair button. The menu bar above the programs’ names always displays an Uninstall button, but when you click certain programs, you may also see buttons for Change and Repair. Here’s the rundown:
    • Uninstall: This completely removes the program from your PC. (Some programs list this button as Uninstall/Change.)
    • Change: This lets you change some of the program’s features or remove parts of it.
    • Repair: A handy choice for damaged programs, this tells the program to inspect itself and replace damaged files with new ones. You may need to have the program’s original CD or DVD handy, though, because you’ll need to insert it into your computer.
  4. When Windows asks whether you’re sure, click Yes.
