Install programs
When installing a program, you should avoid terminating the installation in an improper way (such as a power
break) because it might cause system errors or even system boot failure.
Uninstall programs
If you want to uninstall a program, you should never directly delete the files or directories that have been
installed. This is harmful to the system and could cause system crashes. Please follow the instructions below
to correctly uninstall the software. (Make sure to backup the relevant documents and system settings before
uninstalling the program.)
