Uninstalling a Browser via Settings App (Windows 10/11)

2. Go to Apps: Click on "Apps" (or "Apps & Features" on older versions of Windows 10).

Important Considerations:

• Default Browser: If you are uninstalling your default browser, you will need to set a new default browser before uninstalling the old one.
• Data Removal: Some browsers offer the option to delete your browsing data (history, cookies, etc.) during the uninstallation process. Choose this option if you want to remove this data.
• Residual Files: After uninstalling, some files and folders related to the browser may still remain on your system. You can manually delete these files if desired, but be cautious not to delete any important system files.
• Reinstalling: If you want to use the browser again in the future, you will need to download and install it from the browser's official website.
