What is best way to uninstall setup programs left on desktop after their programs are installed?

Question

After downloading several programs from the internet, I now have all of their setup programs left behind on my desktop. Many of the files from these setup programs are now scattered on my hard drive.

Answer 1

drag them into the recycle bin...

Answer 2

Now this is how you do it. You make a blank folder. Then you put ALL the setup programs there, and/or burn the folder or setups to a CD. Reason is if you ever have to delete the program or if you do a reformat/recovery, you will not have to waste time downloading the setup programs. Better to burn on a RW disc in case another better updated setup comes along. Example, I have the set up for my Logictech cam, but then another update came along. Well I deleted the old update and burned the newer update to my RW cd.

Answer 3

If you mean you have their setup files on your desktop, you can move them all to a common location. I keep all installation files in C:/Program Files so they're easy to find.
If you no longer want the programs, uninstall them using the Control Panel and delete the install files.

Answer 4

ccleaner.com or check with the manufactuer site for uninstalling instructions, dont forget to scan the drives for the files after you dump them. Start menu search and then files/ folders type the programs name and let wizard do the rest. Once completed start deleting them as necessary. Good Luck

Answer 5

I found a folder called SWSETUP containing many of them; also run your Search-for-files (if your folders are set up not to hide "hidden" files) for *setup*.exe and *setup*.msi?
