  Please do not respond with standard article which sends you to the disk cleanup utility. There is an article somewhere that answers this question and I can't find any. I know there are 3 commands from command line I just write, I don't remember them.

  original title: Please, please, tell me how to REMOVE Windows Live Mail from my computer! I hate this program!

  It is not working properly and did not work properly, because it has been downloaded and installed.  I trieed to locate in "Add or remove programs" but I can't find it to remove it.  If this program worked properly, I love her, but she leads me into the wall.  For example, each as it was on my computer whenever I have remove messages that I have none like want to any folder they reappear automatically in 1-2 seconds, and not only that they reappear with what seems to be hundreds and hundreds more that are added to one or several same files every time.  I can't stand this program.  This is the only mail client, I have, but I had so many problems with it that I want on my computer.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  I have Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit).  Thank you!

• How to delete the old database?

  Hello

  I work with a SQLite database. However, I am getting intermittent behaviour of my app in the Simulator. I suspect it's because while developing, I have to go hard the Simulator and leave the database in an unknown state.

  How clear/clear the old database I know I start the application of a known state? I tried to use clean.bat, but I have not had success with it yet.

  Thank you

  My apologies - shnuffy had right the first time. I have now found the directory where the database is stored. As shnuffy says: device/Blackberry/system/appdata/rim/webstorage /...

• How to delete windows and install linux?

  I couldn't use my Windows 7 system more because spyware / adware kept interrupting me, and I couldn't remove it without having to pay $100 to upgrade the antivirus and spyware, so I decided to install Linux instead. How can I delete my system Windows and install Linux Debian?

  Download DBAN (http://www.dban.org/) and won't burn it to a blank CD/DVD using ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com/) (in XP/Vista), no additional software required for Windows 7 or well make a USB bootable with Universal USB Installer (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/)

  Insert this device and enter the BIOs setup in the setup of the BIOs (F2 on the screen of the Bios Dell, a different key to the non-vallons), disable the card readers THAT DBAN otherwise does not quite. Starting the device (hold F12 for a Dell one for a non-Dell BIOs screen and then select boot from CD/DVD or USB respectively). Follow the instructions on the screen to eliminate completely all the data on your hard drive. Do this before installing Windows. Once it is a complete restart as a guest and then power down. When switching on maintain F2 to enter the BIOs setup, and then select the card reader.

  This will have wiped your hard drives correctly.

  Then install UBUNTU or similar do this by downloading their recent .iso and make a bootable USB drive or DVD and boot from it (F12 on the screen of the BIOs Dell or similar for another Dell) - follow the instructions on the screen and see if you like. http://www.Ubuntu.com/

  You can also reinstall Windows 7 with latest Service Packs, more recent definitions of Microsoft Security Essentials & Microsoft Security Essentials, a decent free firewall like Sphinx Windows 7 Firewall Control and also Malwarebytes' Antimalware.

• How to delete Windows Live Mail fonts

  I have so many fonts in Windows Live Mail that I have need; they all look alike.  How can I safely delete them?

  The last point, they have disabled what was used to be used in OE for stationery and have only basic stuff that are pretty ugly.  There is no version of OE can be installed in Win7 or 8.  I suspect what said you, was that you could buy Outlook, but has neither stationery.  The only way to use OE in Win 7 is via a virtual machine (see www.oehelp.com/OEnWin7.aspx).

  For fonts, you can copy the contents of C:\windows\fonts to save the fonts.  Then you can take a stab and delete those you don't need.  If you accidentally delete one you wanted, then you can go to the copy and then right-click on the police and choose Install to reinstall.  So just save them first and you can play with what you have without worry.

  Remember however, that unless the recipient of your e-mail message has the font installed on their computer, the fonts you choose will not be what they see.

  see you soon,

• How to delete Windows Update backup files

  In Windows XP Pro, whenever an update from windows update has been installed, a backup file was created (example: C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB977816$) is it a similar backup with windows file 7 about the update of windows, and if so, can it be deleted once it is established that the MS security update is successful?  Thank you, Sam.

  http://taurarian.MVPs.org/WU_XP/removing_old_windows_updates.htm

  Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

  These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
  NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

  Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.
