How Can I Delete Outlook Express from My Computer?

[Mary]

I have vey little room on my laptop hard drive. I had to
download Internet Explorer and Outlook Espress came with
it. The installation crashed 81% of the way through, so I
cancelled it. Internet Explorer work ok, but I want to get
rid of the OE files that were installed. The program does
not show up on Add/Remove programs, so I deleted through
Explorer and then deleted the files from the recycle bin.
But lo and behold, when I return to Windows Explorer, the
OE files are still there! Is there any way to get them off
my hard drive?

You cannot remove Outlook Express from any current version of Windows. It's
integral with the operating system.
