How to Delete a Screensaver From a Computer
A screensaver is a small computer program that activates when a computer is inactive after a certain amount of time. Screensavers generally feature animated images that help to prevent the computer monitor from being damaged. Even though screensavers only take up a small amount of space, only one screensaver can be used at a time on a computer. Computer users often want to delete the extra screensavers that they are not using.
