Yesterday, my friend Ken said that he attempted to manually uninstall Windows Live that was foisted on him by Qwest, his internet provider. But it is about a whole group of programs and not just a simple program. So, he got the distinct feeling that he need to select a whole list to delete but he just did not know where to start until I gave him the following guidelines to fight against the whole group.
First, please make sure that all the following applications are not running on your computer when you start to uninstall all the products of it, such as Messenger.
Second, use the utility of Add or Remove Programs on the control panel to remove the below listed programs or directories:
Windows Live Essentials
Windows Live Sync
Third, find out the two directories of the it in the drive C and forcibly uninstall them with a software removal tool:
C:Program FilesCommon FilesWindows Live
C:Program FilesWindows LiveSkyDrive
Last, check over the registry information of it as below listed:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows Live
In other words, the utility of Add or Remove Programs can actually just remove half of the entries of the program. It means when you finish the removal on the control panel, its products would be still right there in your program files of drive C. To this point, a proper and efficient software removal tool plays the most important role in the whole uninstall process.
The most effective program removal tool to uninstall Windows Live is here. I am sure it can help you.
