Add and Remove programs. Which programs do I have to keep for the functioning of the computer?

Question

What are some programs I have to keep, and what are some common ones I can delete to free up computer space taken up by useless files?

Answer 1

you can only add and remove program that you install to the computer, so whatever program that you remove will not affect the computer function. add remove program will not delete your operating system (but it can delete the office programs though so be careful) and your system register. you can remove the program that you use rarely.

Answer 2

Uninstall the programs you don't use anymore or often. The computer will function properly whether you uninstall programs or not, according to what you'll be doing on it.

Microsoft office, your Antivirus software would be a couple of the necessities ... but it would honestly depend on what you'll be needing and what you don't use anymore.

Adobe Acrobat Reader is pretty important if you want to read PDF files, third party codecs are important if you want to watch videos in particular formats etc etc.
