For Windows, in order to remove an application entirely, you will need to open the Control Panel. In Vista, this Control Panel can be accessed directly from the Start Menu. For Windows 2000 and XP in Classic view, you go to the Start menu, then to "Settings" to find the Control Panel.
On the Control Panel, you will see an option that is either "Programs and Features," or "Uninstall a Program" or "Add/Remove Programs." Double-click on the icon to open the program control window. From the list of programs, choose Adobe Reader and then click "Uninstall" or "Remove."
