How to Properly Uninstall A Program In Your Computer

When it comes to uninstalling a program in Windows, we are often surprised to find people are doing it incorrectly, resulting in corrupt files, system crashes and other problems.

On a Mac, you simply grab the program folder and drag it into the Trash. Seems simple enough.

But the Windows registry system is a bit more complicated. Dragging a Windows program into the Recycle Bin will not only cause problems with your computer,

the program will not be uninstalled and may permanently reside on your computer until you reformat and reinstall Windows.

When you install a program in Windows, bits of the program are scattered throughout your computer.

Often, when you think you have successfully removed a program, remnants of it still reside on your PC. There are often no serious repercussions

because of this, but over time, these remnants might cause your system to bog down or behave erratically.

Below are various ways to uninstall programs.

1.- Uninstall A Program In A Computer Running Windows XP

•Go to Start>Control Panel>Add / Remove Programs.
•Wait for the programs to populate the Window.
•Highlight the program you want to remove.
•Click Change / Remove and follow any prompts until the program disappears from the list.

2.- Uninstall A Program In A Computer Running Windows Vista or Windows 7

•Click the Start button, then choose Control Panel.
•In the Programs section, click Uninstall a program.
•Or (if you are using the Classic View of the Control Panel, double-click on the Programs and Features icon instead).
•Wait for the programs to load, and then click Uninstall

.
In Conclusion

So before you attempt to remove a program, think before you delete. The last thing you want is orphaned bits of software strewn across your system.
