Step 1
Today, there are three ways to delete files from your computer. The first two are ideal for deleting folders and documents, while the third is ideal for uninstalling applications installed on your PC. Let's consider each of the methods in more detail.
Step 2
Delete files using their properties. To delete an unnecessary file in this way, right-click on it. Next, you need to select the "Delete" function, and then confirm its removal from the computer. To completely delete the file, you need to empty the trash.
Step 3
You can also delete a file using the Delete button. To do this, you need to select the desired document, and then click this button. To completely delete the document, you also need to empty the contents of the recycle bin. And if, together with the Delete button, hold down and Shift, then the file will be deleted, bypassing the trash can.
Step 4
Removing an installed application. Open the My Computer folder. In the left part of the window that opens, you need to click on the item "Add or Remove Programs". It will take some time for the system to build a list of installed programs and updates. Once the list is downloaded, find the one you want to uninstall among all the applications installed on the PC. Click on the application to be removed with the left mouse button, and then click on the "Delete" button (this button will appear on the right side of the window).
Step 5
After uninstalling any application, you may need to restart your computer. It is necessary for the system to continue working correctly. Otherwise, certain errors may occur during its operation.
