[](https://www.l7solutions.com/images/easyblog_shared/December_2015/12-2-15/uninstall_programs_in_windows_400.jpg "uninstall_programs_in_windows_400.jpg")One of the most basic functions that the average Windows user should understand is how to get rid of applications and programs that are unnecessary or potentially threatening. Previous versions of Windows made users jump through hoops to get rid of their unwanted apps and programs, but Windows 10 makes it much easier to do so. In fact, there are three easy ways to eliminate your unnecessary apps and programs.
**From the Start Menu**
One of the more basic ways you can uninstall apps and programs is through the Start menu. First, open the **Start menu** and click **All apps**. Locate the program or app that you want to uninstall, **right-click** on it, and select **uninstall**. As long as it’s not a default app that comes with Windows, you should be able to successfully click **Uninstall**, which will initiate a pop-up notice warning you of the apps imminent uninstallation. If you’re sure you want to get rid of it, click **Uninstall**.
You’ll then be taken to the Programs and Features Window, which you would ordinarily access through the Control Panel, where you must find the app you want to uninstall. Find it, **select it**, and click **uninstall**. Yet another window prompt will ask if you’re sure you want to Uninstall the program. Select **Yes** and you’ll be done. Keep in mind that some programs will involve an uninstall wizard, which will get rid of the program upon completion (and maybe a system restart).
**From the Settings Menu**
You can also remove a program from your PC by going through the Settings menu. Open it by going to **Start > Settings**. Click **Apps & Features**, which will show you a list of all programs on your PC. You can either use the search bar to find the program you’re looking for, or just sift through the names yourself.
Once you’ve located the undesired program, click on it and select **Uninstall**. You’ll see a pop-up window warning that the app/program and all related information will be uninstalled. If you’re sure that you want to do this, click on **Uninstall**.
**From the Control Panel**
You can even uninstall programs directly from the Control Panel, but keep in mind that this method only works for programs, not Windows 10 applications. Click on the **Start menu** and navigate to your **Control Panel**. Select **Programs and Features**, and select **Uninstall a Program**. Select the program you want to get rid of, and click **Uninstall**. Once again, you’ll be asked to confirm that you want to uninstall the program. Click yes, and you’re done.
