Deleting a browser - this is how it works without any problems

Deleting a browser from the computer is useful to free up disk space. Whether and how to delete the browser, in turn, depends on which browser it is. Here we explain the necessary procedure for the most common browsers.

Browser: How to delete Firefox and Google Chrome

If you have a browser installed on your PC or laptop that you no longer use, it is recommended that you delete it from your computer. If your browser is Google Chrome or Firefox, the quickest way to delete it is via the program list of your Windows PC. To access this, first open the Run dialog by pressing the key combination of "Windows key" + "R" and enter the command "appwiz.cpl" there. Then search for Chrome or Firefox in the displayed list of programs and click "Uninstall" to delete them.

These browsers are difficult to delete

While the deletion of Chrome and Firefox is done in a few steps, other browsers are difficult to remove completely. This is the case, for example, with Apple's Safari browser, which is deeply embedded in the operating system and its deletion is not possible. Microsoft Edge is also difficult to delete.

1. To delete the browser, the first step is to remove the browser's link by right-clicking on the icon and clicking "Delete from Taskbar" and "Delete from Startup".
2. After that, reboot the computer and set another browser as default.
3. After that, go to the path "C:\Windows\SystemApps", look for the folder "Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe" and rename it so that Edge will no longer be found by Windows.
