Internet Explorer has long been more dead than alive. Can you remember the last time you opened it? Well, maybe just for the sake of downloading Chrome, Firefox or another decent browser through it.

Microsoft has finally realized that its brainchild is forgotten and abandoned, and urges users to no longer use Internet Explorer. Nevertheless, this browser is still on the list of programs in Windows 10. Fortunately, it can be removed easily and painlessly through the Control Panel or Command Prompt.

Method 1

Open the Start menu and start typing the phrase "Programs and Features". Or go to "Settings" → "System" → "Applications and Features" → "Programs and Features"
