How to uninstall programs in Windows 10

To rid your computer of old programs, you have two different options in Windows 10.

1. Call up the Control Panel by entering the term "Control Panel" in the search and clicking on the result with the same name.
2. Click on "Uninstall Programs" under "Programs" in the Control Panel.
3. You will now see a list of all installed programs. Click on the program you want to uninstall and then at the top of the menu bar on "Uninstall" or "Uninstall/Change".
4. You may now need to confirm that you want to uninstall the program.
5. Alternatively, go to the settings in Windows and click on "Apps and Features". On the right side, you will now see all the applications and the space required for them.
6. Click on an entry and then go to the "Uninstall" button.

After the program has been deleted, it disappears from the list. For some programs, file residues remain in the installation folder. Go to the file path where the program was installed and delete any remaining files there, if the program folder still exists. Some applications, such as antivirus programs, also offer their own application that you can use to remove the program from your system completely.
