How to Uninstall Programs & Features in Windows
Uninstalling programs and features in a Windows computer operating system can be done through the Control Panel utility, which is included in all Windows versions. Be aware that uninstalling a program does not delete the installation files for that program from the computer. Uninstallation removes the program files from the operating system, preventing the program from being run through Windows.
