Uninstalling Unused Programs
During the life of your system, your hard drive will fill up with
programs, games, and other large files. In addition to causing
possible system instability, these unused files make it more
difficult for your hard drive to access the programs you want to
use. To maintain the health of your system, you should remove
old or unwanted programs and files on a regular basis.
The Control Panel contains a record of all the programs
installed on your hard drive. To remove an application,
uninstall it using the Control Panel:
1. Select
Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
.
3. Select the program you wish to uninstall.
4. Select the program’s
Change/Remove
button.
5. Follow any prompts given by the program to remove it
from the hard drive.
