Remove outdated DLL files from your system

When uninstalling a program you are sometimes asked whether a
certain DLL file can be deleted. Whether this DLL file is still needed, check with a look in the registry.

    * Start Registry Editor from Start - Run ... " (WIN + ), followed by the command regedit. Then click "OK" or press the button .

    * Navigate to the key

    * "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ SharedDLLs".

    * In the right pane you will see the DLL files. Look in the column "value" of the digit in brackets. This value indicates, as many of these DLL files are required.

    * If the DLL has the value "0", you can do so in Windows Explorer into the trash.

    * Exit the Registry Editor by clicking the Close button.
