Problems deleting or uninstalling Microsoft Windows programs or directiories

If you've got here because you are having problems trying to delete or removing programs (or directories) from your Windows system, we have a very simple solution. It does not involve installing 3rd party programs with the inherent virus risk. The solution is very simple.

Microsoft provide an uninstall wizard that removes programs without running into permissions problems or errors.

Follow these simple steps:


 * 1) Download * https://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/en-us
 * 2) Run File Explorer
 * 3) Open Downloads and double click on   to run the program
 * 4) Once the standard agreements has been accepted, chose the option to make your own decisions and then select the program you wish to uninstall.

One annoying attribute to this program is that there does not seem to be a way to delete multiple programs in one move to the program has to be run multiple times to remove multiple programs.
