cant delete unwanted programmes on windows xp . how do i do it ?

Question

done the usual the add remove programmes but wont delete . grateful of any help thanks

Answer 1

Install certain software that can uninstall unwanted programs and you can learn about these freeware on google.

Answer 2

You may not be able to remove a program is the main executable file of that program is running.



Either stop the process or try rebooting in safe mode and running Add/Remove Programs again when the program will not be running.



Another way of doing it is to go to C:\Program Files

and remove the program's folder. However, this is a messy solution as it leaves some files and folders on disk, plus entries in your registry.

Answer 3

Go to 'My Computer' and click 'Add or remove programs' on the left side of the window...Then go through and fing the program you want to uninstall and click 'remove'



That doesn't work?

Try going into the 'mycomputer'

then your hard drive (usually 'c')

then 'program files'

Then look fora folder with the name of the program or the company that made the program

then look for a file called 'unwise' or 'uninstall'

Hope this helps and good luck!
