To uninstall Windows Live, what you have to do is close all its services, removing each element of the main program and all its registry information one by one.
First to turn it off and uninstall the main program. Many programs developed by Microsoft can easily find their way to tightly blend into your system, some of them run constantly every time you turn on your computer. This feature is really a danger for you to uninstall Windows Live completely. If you checked all the sub-items in the installation, the following items should be found and you should finish them all, plus the annoying Messenger that appears every time:
live messenger
live call
living essence
live login assistant
live update tool
live sync
live photo gallery
live mail
You should be able to find them in Control Panel, but first remember to have them completely disabled, although not all of them are on all the time. And if you’re like me, who doesn’t even know where to find them, let alone turn them off, but really want to uninstall Windows Live, you can also try System Safe Mode, in which None of your programs will run unless you manually run them. operated.
When all services are down, you can now start the removal. However, removing those items from Add or Remove Programs does not necessarily mean that it is completely uninstalled every time, especially when the program is damaged or corrupted. In this case you should find three directories below:
C:Program FilesWindows Live
C:Program FilesCommon FilesWindows Live
C: Program Files Windows Live SkyDrive
This is where all the remnants of the program reside, and unless you delete them along with the related registry entries, you probably won’t be able to successfully uninstall Windows Live. The problem is that these entries are hard to find and you will risk blocking your PC to use the Registry Editor. I didn’t want it, so I sought help. A little app called Special Uninstaller came as my final solution. With the Force and Special uninstall method features, I was able to completely remove it by showing Perfect Uninstaller all three directories. The advantage is that no matter what file/directory you point to Perfect Uninstaller, it will scan your computer before deleting the file or directory, “digging” all associated registry entries and making sure there are no leftovers left behind. This is really useful and effective when you don’t want to mess up your registry.
