After installing a program or application, after a while you understand: it is not needed at all or has fulfilled its purpose. But the program is still installed on the computer. Consequently, it takes up space on your hard drive. Some applications do not allow you to install the required program due to incompatibility. How do I uninstall an application or exe program?
Necessary
- - computer;
- - administrator rights.
Instructions
Step 1
Usually every program or application has a built-in system for uninstalling it, that is, “unmounting”. In Russian versions, the "Delete" or "Uninstall" task is programmed. For each program, this shortcut can be called differently, because the developers are all different.
Step 2
To start the task, click on the "Start" menu button. Select "All Programs" from the list that opens. This tab is at the bottom left. Then, in the list of programs installed on your computer that opens, find the one you want to remove. Review the entire list carefully. You can also navigate by date. Recently installed programs will be located at the very end of the entire list.
Step 3
Left-click on the folder with the name of the program to be removed. A new tab will open with shortcuts to the program and its removal. Select Uninstall ("Uninstall", "Uninstall") and click on it. The uninstallation wizard will start. Follow its prompts and the exe application will be uninstalled. It will take from a few seconds to a couple of minutes.
Step 4
If the application software does not provide for a task to remove it, you can use another method. From the Start menu, enter the Control Panel (it is in the list on the right). In the window that opens, select the "Programs" tab. You will see a list of programs and applications installed on your computer.
Step 5
Find the one you want to delete in it. Left-click on it. Above the list or immediately below the name of the program, the “Delete” button will become active (there may be such a “Delete / Change” option). Click on it. The uninstallation of the program has started. After the uninstallation is complete, you can restart your computer. As soon as the reboot is done, the program will disappear from the computer.
