Cleaning Up Old Programs Using Add/Remove

Computers tend to fill up with various software we try. A lot of the times we don't remove the ones we don't use which uses up resources on your computer.

Some times we try a software, but find we don't actually need it. Some programs we might use once in a blue moon so leaving it takes up space.

Removing most programs can be fairly easy. Usually they come with some kind of uninstaller.

Some programs might not, so Windows has a feature designed to cover you in these cases. You can find it by clicking Start and then Control Panel.

Add/Remove Programs will appear with other icons once the Control Panel has opened. Click it and it should pull up a list of software installed.

This list contains most of the programs installed. Simply scroll thru removing each program you would like to remove from your computer.

Some times the uninstaller may ask if you would like to restart your computer to save the changes. It's quicker to say no, and manually restart your computer after you have removed all the programs you wish to remove.

Thats basically it! Make sure you do this from time to time as it will keep space free so your computer will run at its best.
