Managing Applications
4
The UnInstaller wizards that manage applications are simple and extremely
safe. They will not damage your computer or destroy data by removing
important operating system files or files required by any application except
the one you are removing, archiving, or moving.
To use an UnInstaller wizard you must have enough free disk space on your
computer for the wizard to work in and enough space to store any backup
copies of files or applications that the wizard may make. Even though a
backup is compressed to its smallest possible size, it will take up some space
on your hard drive.
When you click one of the application management wizard buttons—Remove,
Archive, Move, or Transport—the wizard opens and guides you through three
or four quick steps to perform the action.
In the first screen of the Remove, Archive, Move, and Transport wizards, you
choose an application by expanding the list of applications with shortcuts on
your desktop, or in the Windows Start menu, as shown in Figure 4-1.
NOTE: By default, applications are backed up before they are deleted.
The compressed backup uses less disk space than the deleted application
files, and gives you a chance to recover the application or some of its files
later. Each time you run the Remove wizard, you can turn off backups or
specify a different location where the backups are stored.
