Windows 7: Internet Explorer 11 - Uninstall in Windows 7

Brink · 18 Nov 2017

Hello scop, :)

You shouldn't have seen a huge difference in drive space my just uninstalling Internet Explorer since it really only just turns off the feature.

If you like, the tutorial below has some more options for freeing up drive space.

This CMD procedure worked perfectly but slow (overnight). Could it be use with others earlier versions, say IE-8 in XP?
Thanks.

Hello,

I'm glad it could help.

You should be able to use at least option 1 in XP for IE8.

The command in option 2 would be different for IE8, and would need to change "11" in the command to "8".

As previously stated, the cmd remedy worked perfectly with IE-11 and it cleared my problem, so I reinstalled also perfectly. The command did not worked for IE-7, but the old one did.
"%windir%\ei7xx\spuninst\spuninst.exe"
worked perfectly.
Hope it will help.
Thanks and cheers.
