5. Select an app you wish to uninstall.
6. Click the Uninstall button that appears.
7. Click the Uninstall pop-up button to confirm.

You can also uninstall the program from the programs and features menu. These are the steps:

1. In windows search and find the Control panel – Programs and features.
2. The list of installed programs will appear. Select the program that you need to remove and select uninstall to remove the program.

I followed your solution but was unable to tell what Apps to delete. 

I have the following Apps 

    HP Coustomers participation

     HP Immiging Device Function program

     HP Solution Center

     HP Solution Support

     HP Update

     HP photo mart C4600 all Drives

     HP photo Creations software.  

My my question is which one of these do I delete to remove the Apps on the middle of my screen that does not work?

Hello, @Jug1

Thanks for the reply!

The icons on your PC desktops are merely a shortcut. You can simply delete the shortcut and can still have the programs on your PC.

Going through your list, you only need HP Imaging Device Function, HP Solution center & HP Photosmart C4600 all-in-one drivers for the smooth functioning of your printer. You can delete / remove the other programs which are installed.

If you still have any icons on your desktop after removing, simply delete those icons. It will not affect the printer in any way.

I hope that answers your concern adequately. Let me know!

Good luck 🙂

Your advice was right on. Once I deleted the first Apps the Apps in the middle of the screen was gone. Thanks for the great help.
