Uninstalling Software

The best way to uninstall software is to go back to your Control Panel and to the Add/Remove Programs utility. From here you can find the software you want to remove in the list and then click Change/Remove. Just make sure that you don’t have the software running or it won’t let you uninstall it.

Some software will put an icon in your start menu programs that you can click to uninstall the software. It does the same thing as going to Add/Remove software.

One thing to keep in mind when removing software is that you don’t want to go to My Computer and find the folder for the software and just delete it. That wont completely remove the software just most of the files. There are other files placed in different locations such as the Windows folder and also in the registry that wont get removed if you just delete the folder.
