    Deleting Programs from Add/Remove Control Panel
    I have tons of stuff in my Add/Remove panel. Can anyone tell me an easy way to know which programs I can delete that are taking up room on my computer. The obvious ones,
    Internet Explorer, and programs that I use often, I know about, but there are so many I have no idea what they are and I don't want to accidentally delete something important. I just think I need to clean some things out.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you can't determine by looking at the programs which one's you really need, I would not delete any of them.

    Without being able to see your list, I don't know how we can help you?

    Feel free to post a list of what you have in your ADD/REMOVE and we'll surely share some learned opinions with you about what is needed and what is essentially optional.
