When you buy a new computer, it usually has junk. For example, there is software that is preinstalled that you do not need or will not use. It may be difficult to delete those programs. You may also have a program that you want uninstalled. The easiest way is to go to Start-->Programs, [look for the program you want to install]-->[and find an "Uninstall" or "Remove" option]. If you cannot find anything, then Add/Remove Programs is your next task.
To use Add/Remove Programs:
1. Go to Start-->Control Panel.2. Select "Add or Remove Programs".3. It may take a few moments, but you now have a list of installed programs on your computer.4. If necessary, scroll down and select the program you want to uninstall.5. Click on either "Change/Remove" or "Remove".6. You may be asked if you are SURE you want to delete the program. Click "Yes" or "OK" (Figure), and follow the instructions on your screen.
You now know how to safely delete programs you do not need anymore. Not only does this free disk space on your hard drive, it improves performance because removing the program frees system resources.
