Can I safely delete the old browser and other Microsoft products from my computer to make more room? Can I delete Internet Explorer and so many other Microsoft products that I never use? I don't use gaming, I don't use the computer for video or movies. I use my computer for documents, pictures and to connect with my truck computer for real time information. What can I delete? I am low on resources and have other computers.

Thank you for your knowledge and time to help out!

Internet Explorer is a part of Windows. Removing it might cause issues.

You should try asking about the Windows programs here: https://support.microsoft.com

What old browser are you talking about? Do you have more than one version of something?

One option is to remove anything you don't want or need. Another is to get an external hard drive. Then move anything you don't use a lot to the external. You can also use the external as a backup.
