Based on my experience, I can say that uninstalling DirectX is not an easy task. But you don't have to worry my friend; I have shared all my knowledge in this article and outlined ways through which you can easily uninstall DirectX from your machine.

What is DirectX and what is the need to install it?

Many computer users may know this, but for rest of you, let's first discuss what DirectX exactly is and why is there a need to install it? In broader terms, DirectX consists of set of small programs that are responsible of handling a lot of tasks which involves accessing of multimedia files.

The main issue with DirectX is that it does not have a normal uninstall procedure. Installing DirectX is a necessity if you want to run any multimedia file and when it comes to un-installation there is no simple uninstaller that you can run and can get rid of it. However there are 2 ways through which you can uninstall DirectX from your machine. First method is called the manually procedure and the second is the automatic procedure.

Let me first step by step explain you the manual procedure to uninstall DirectX from your system. In this procedure, we delete the application using the Control Panel utility.

1. You need to go to the Control Panel in Windows. Note: If unsure where to find this, go to Start and then from the Start menu, select Control Panel icon.
2. On the Control Panel window, select ‘Add/Remove Program'. The list of installed software opens.
3. Select DirectX.
4. Once DirectX is highlighted, select the ‘Remove' button.
5. The un-installation wizard opens. Simply follow the wizard steps to delete the application from your system.

If the manual removal process is not successful which means you are not able to delete DirectX from your system or even after deletion you see the DirectX files on your system or you have a corrupt un-installation then using an automatic uninstaller is the only solution. Based on my many years of experience, I find Perfect Uninstaller as the best automatic professional uninstaller.
