How to Uninstall TeX

TeX is a typesetting program for computers that was programmed by Donald Knuth and first released in 1978. The program's most recent stable release was in 2008. TeX was a pioneering piece of programming that was designed to be compatible with computers at the time of its initial release as well as for all future developments in computer technology. One of its main functions is to type out complex mathematical formulas, which might be difficult with the standard keyboard settings. Removing the program is as simple as using Windows' own uninstaller system through your computer's "Control Panel."
