Hi

I tried removing files from my system by uninstalling them but they are
still in my system. How do I remove them and speed up the system

Thanks

What has caused you to think that removing these particular (as yet unnamed)
files from your computer would speed it up?

Or when you say "files" - is that just not fully understanding the situation
and you mean you were trying to uninstall applications/programs that you had
previously installed and cannot figure out how to do this? Or do you
literally mean deleting a file?

Your message is very confusing and hard to understand. Please note the
following, and answer the questions below:

1. You can't uninstall "files." You uninstall programs. A single
program normally consists of several files.

2. Exactly what "files" or programs did you uninstall?

3. Exactly how did you uninstall them?

4. How do you know they are still in your system? Where do you see
that?

5. Uninstalling programs does *not* speed up the system. Having a
program installed has no effect on performance. A program that is
*running* affects performance, but one that is not running does not.

Think of it like a car. A car that is running uses gasoline, but one
that is "installed" in your garage, but not running uses no gasoline.
