When installing a particular program on a computer, the user often does not know whether he will like it, whether he will work with it. Sometimes a few seconds are enough to evaluate the program: after making sure that this is not what he was looking for, the computer owner may want to immediately remove it.
Instructions
Step 1
To remove programs, you can use the standard Windows uninstaller or third-party utilities. If the program has registered itself in the list of installed applications, then the easiest way is to uninstall it through the Uninstall line - provided that this line is in the program menu.
Step 2
In the event that during installation the program did not create an uninstall line, it is best to use the Uninstall Tool to uninstall. This program is good because it opens quickly - unlike the standard Windows uninstall utility. When you open the Uninstall Tool, it reports on the latest installed programs, which is also very convenient. But the main advantage of this utility is that it completely removes all traces of an unnecessary program from the computer.
Step 3
Install and run the Uninstall Tool. Highlight the program that you want to uninstall, and click the line "Delete the selected program". The program will be removed, the utility will check the computer for the presence of its traces on the computer. After that, a message will be displayed with information about the records found. To delete them, click the "Delete" button.
Step 4
Use the Revo Uninstaller utility to quickly uninstall the program. Like the Uninstall Tool, it can completely remove the application and all its traces in the system registry and computer folders. The utility has a useful "Hunt Mode" option that allows you to remove programs that you cannot find in the list of installed programs, but whose work is noticeable on the computer. You can uninstall the program by dragging the "crosshair" onto its window, system tray icon, etc.
Step 5
In order not to clog your computer and not have problems with uninstalling programs, try to install their portable versions - of course, if you have a choice. Portable versions of programs do not need to be installed and run from their working folder, which you can place in any convenient place. For example, if your computer has two or more disks (or logical partitions), it is convenient to put portable versions on drive D. If you reinstall the operating system, usually located on drive C, the programs on drive D will remain intact.
