Harry,


You can uninstall some of your apps.


One way to uninstall is by going through Programs and Features. Press 
Windows+i, type "Uninstall,"press enter on the option that says 
something like "Add and Remove," tab to Programs and Features, and press 
enter there. You can uninstall anything on that list by pressing the 
Applications key, then pressing enter on Uninstall.


Another way to uninstall things is to find them on the start menu or in 
the all programs folder, then to press the applications key. Uninstall 
is sometimes one of the options though you may have to go into the More 
submenu to find it.


Some programs cannot be uninstalled because they're part of Windows. 
There may even be times when you'll use them. For example, sometimes 
sighted people send documents as jpg images. I open them in Photos and 
use a virtual printer, like the Freedom Import Printer, to scan them. 
the camera may be useful with object identifier apps in future.


Ciao
