I have many downloads in my machine. Some are called "JScript" and others "Application". How do I determine which of theses I can delete? Thank you. Duane Kiel.

You would have to decide on removing these on a case by case basis. Once you have installed a program, you can remove the installer if you want. But what I do is to move the installer for storage Just In Case.

You will need to identify each file as to what it is for. Copy the whole filename and do a web search for it.

Example; Web search Firefox.exe; https://www.bing.com/search?q=firefox.exe&pc=MOZI&form=MOZSBR
