If I remove software, I could go through the uh.. uninstall process, or I could simply delete files from my computer.

If I uninstall software, I remove the files, registry entries, desk top & start menu shortcuts, and most often, the directories from my computer. Uninstalling is a specific process.

I suggest using uninstall.
