Want to uninstall programs on Windows 7? Here is everything that you should know.
There are two methods to uninstall a program on Windows 7; the wrong method and the right method. Unfortunately, though, a lot of people uninstall program through the wrong method, which will cause poor performance and problems on the computer. These wrong methods delete the program's folder or simply deleting the icons. Whenever you attempt to remove a program in this manner, there is a large amount of configuration information left in the Windows Registry along with files that could be installed in locations other than the program's folder. These orphan files and Registry data have the possibility of causing conflicts on your pc thus ultimately causing problems.
The proper method to uninstall a program is by using the uninstall routine which is bundled with the program itself. It will remove the files, Windows Registry information, and other configuration from your pc so that there are no conflicts in the future. When a program is installed in Windows, it'll add information to the Windows Registry on the correct method to uninstall it. Then you're able to use Windows 7 Programs and Features control panel to properly uninstall the program.
