UnInstall Unwanted Programs-Windows

Most Windows users know pretty much how to download and install programs and applications, but don't know how to remove unwanted programs. For everything that is downloaded and then installed, each .exe will than shed itself at least two times, splitting and adding the same contents in two places in your computer.  Thus, causing more memory usage.


Every time you download a new program, the executable file carries more files and unpacks it's contents when installed from the Downloads folder.  It then leaves a complete copy of the program in the Downloads folder even after installation.  So after installing a program it is necessary to go back into this Downloads folder and (right-click on the program's icon) and delete or drag and drop the installed program's original folder into the Recycle Bin.*It's smart to check all contents of your Recycle Bin before Emptying.  To restore or undo a deleted program or application select the restore option in the Recycle Bin.


When programs that you no longer use, starts to fill-up all the space or it's always there but no one uses it anymore, you can't just right-click/delete it, it won't delete, that way.  The only thing you'll delete is one of the many shortcuts that Windows can make anytime for anything.  To do this follow the following few steps...


1.Control Panel
2.Programs and Features- a list from Windows will generate  all programs that is installed on the computer, only programs that are already installed.
3. Find the program you'd like to remove from this list and select the UN-install option.  Wait a second, the UN-installation is taking effect, a notification window will pop-up letting you know that the process is complete.  Repeat this for every Program you want to remove from now on.


-Every now and then you'll need to go into the Downloads folder and send all the files already installed either to a cloud for future installation or to the Recycle Bin to relieve the space in this folder.
