Windows 10: 1.Deleting multiple programs and apps at the same time 2. What is safe to delete from old...

Hi, I have a surface Pro 3 running windows 10. I wanted to know if anyone new how to uninstall multiple unneeded apps and programs at the same time, rather than one by one and then having to reboot and repeat over and over??? Also, do I need to save all downloaded program software that are years old from past versions of Windows etc.??? ThanksBOB

App for deleting files while being used by another process...

Most of the time, booting in safe mode, as administrator, will enable you to remove those files (maps).

however, there are some programs out there to do just whatyou ask, I once found one after some searching on google. So either try my suggestion, or in fact search on google perhaps?

"Force delete" will bring up enough info on this.

 

Deleting multiple documents

That is simply more steps. What I want is for it to automatically select the next document in the list... so all I have to do is keep hitting delete. I know how to highlight sections or multiple documents... But I shouldn't have to select multiple at
a time. As it is now, I have to physically select the next document in the list then hit delete.

For example, in Outlook, I can run down my list of emails for the day and just hit delete. Fast and simple.

I was once able to do that in Explorer.
