Removing Old Programs
Programs that are no longer being
used are taking up space on your computer that you could use for other things.
Also, adding more free space gives your computer the ability to access needed
files, faster. It is recommended that you keep between 400 and 600 MB of free
space on your hard drive so that your system can function properly.
You should always remove unwanted
programs by uninstalling, not by deleting. Programs come with an uninstall
utility specifically designed to remove the program files associated with it.
If you can see the program you no
longer need listed in your Start menu, there will most likely be an uninstall
option to click on. Go to Start > All Programs > and point
to a program folder. When the folder options appear, click on the uninstall
item.
To see a list of every program
installed on your computer (with the intention of uninstalling one) click on Start
> Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. Scan through
the list of installed programs. Click on one to see more information. Click on
the Remove button to remove the program.
If you do not know what the
program’s purpose is, you can either do an internet search for the program name
or leave it alone. Only delete those
programs you are SURE you know the purpose of and you are SURE you no longer
need.
