I uninstalled the Internet Explorer program as instructed. After restarting the computer, the Internet Explorer folder still appears to exist under program files in Explorer. Can that folder also be deleted?
Hello Cor, I just checked it for you. Indeed, the Internet Explorer folder in Program Files remains. This folder is 2MB in size and is part of Windows. I recommend that you do not delete this folder. Good luck! Greetings Stefan
Thank you for your response. It's strange that this folder remains there, without a function?
I am not sure, but I suspect this is because the Internet Explorer optional component is disabled. Disabled means that it can also be enabled again, so I expect that the folder will continue to exist.
Greetings Stefan.
Thank you Stefan. The folder isn't in the way, I'll wait.
