Hi All.

i am trying to clean up my comptuer- running somewhat slow. and browsing through "program files" folder saw some subfolders with program names i havent used in a while.. and some of some programs i dont remember using at all.

how safe is it to remove these folders?
if i just delete them, will i have problems with missing files and this kind of thing?

Thanks a lot.

Go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall the program first and then delete any leftover files/folders. What programs are you talking about?

The ones you know for sure that they are uninstalled, you can delete related files and folders.

For the others, uninstall the program first and then delete any leftover files/folders.
