    Can't delete the unneeded keyboard layout

    Thanks for the reply!

    I have found another solution. I have added the unneeded layout so that it became visible and appeared in the layout setting list, and then deleted it. It helped!

    Deleting apps

    Hello Kelly,

    We would like to know more information about your issue so that we will know why you are unable to delete applications on your computer:

    • What changes/updates have you made prior to the issue?
    • Is there an error message when you try to uninstall an application?

    In the meantime, I would suggest that you try the steps in this article on

    Programs Missing From Control Panel List


    I was able to get rid of XNVIEW by downloading it and using it's own uninstaller.
    Have tried method suggested by Pyramid 10 with photoscape without success.
    Can't figure out how to do what is asked.

    Your next suggestion?
