Displaying and Uninstalling Programs

In the following chapters, you will find out how you can use TuneUp Uninstall Manager to display the pro-

grams installed on your computer, why you might want to uninstall them and how to do so.

Introduction

Over time, you accumulate a large number of programs on your computer, many of which you probably do

not even use. So that your Windows system can run quickly and smoothly, you should regularly remove

unused or unnecessary programs.

Each time you install a program on your computer, it becomes deeply anchored in the Windows system

where it remains until you uninstall it completely. If you no longer require a program, it is not enough just to

delete the program folder or the desktop icon that you use to open it.

Most programs distribute their files across several locations on your hard disk and also make entries in the

Windows registry.

TuneUp Uninstall Manager lets you rapidly determine what programs you rarely use or which take up an

especially large amount of space. You can show all installed programs sorted according to different aspects

and then, using the useful additional information about when you installed the program and how often you

use it, decide whether you still need it or should uninstall it.
