Windows 8 is one of the latest operating systems released by Microsoft. The software provides the user with all kinds of tools that allow you to manage the software content of your computer and make it possible to install or uninstall all kinds of applications.
Removing programs using standard tools
Removing programs in Windows 8 is done using the "Programs and Features" menu, which is available as a separate item in the "Control Panel" of the system. To go to the component manager, go to the Metro interface. To switch to tiled mode from the desktop, move the mouse cursor to the lower left corner of the screen and press the left key to bring up a menu. Use the keyboard to start typing the name "Programs and Features". In the left part of the window, in the list of results obtained, select the appropriate application using the Enter button or the mouse pointer. If the result does not appear, select the "Options" section in the list of categories under the search bar on the right side of the screen.
An interface will be displayed in a new window that allows you to manage the programs installed on your computer. This list displays all applications installed on the system. Use the slider on the right side of the window to move through the list to select the desired item. If you want to uninstall a program, right-click on its name and then select “Uninstall”. Confirm the operation and click "OK" after its completion. When prompted, restart your computer to apply the changes.
To remove the selected program, you can also use the Change / Remove button at the top of the Programs and Features window.
Uninstalling programs in Metro
If you want to uninstall a program from the Metro Tile, click again in the lower left corner on the Windows screen. After that, in the proposed list of applications, find unnecessary programs. You can also search the list by typing the name of an unwanted application. If no search results are found, double-check that the program name is correct. Make sure to select the Applications category under the search bar for the system scan to complete successfully.
You can also simply remove the program from the Metro interface without completely uninstalling it. To do this, click on the "Unpin from the start screen" button after selecting the icon of an unnecessary application with the right mouse button.
Right-click on the unnecessary program. A menu will appear at the bottom of the system window, allowing you to select possible options for action. Click on the "Delete" button, and then confirm the operation. The uninstallation of the program is complete and you can no longer use it on the system.
