I bought this computer with pre-installed software.
Most of the software is junk that I never use.
I have uninstalled all of the stuff I wont use, and now
I'm wondering if I should delete the left over files and folders from those
programs that I uninstalled.

Is it safe to do so? Is it necessary?
I'm just trying to free up any space on the disk that I can be using for
something else.
Thanks for your expert replys.

If the programs are uninstalled, I can't imagine why you would need folders
and shortcuts that were left behind. Wouldn't hurt to check folders for
data files that you might want to keep before deleting them.
