Deleting IE from your machine.

Well, I am not sufficiently IT competent to pontificate on total annihilation of any programme. I have the feeling that rather like deleting files, you do not actually remove them from your hard disk. All I can say is that once I was happy with Firefox I searched for IE and deleted everything I could. I couldn't clear everything out, but recently I needed IE in order to view and interact with a programme of interest which did not present itself well in Firefox. I tried to call up the remains of IE and all I got was a raspberry! Then, having offended Microsoft, I found I couldn't get back to Firefox. In short, I had to power down, wait the statutory five seconds for the hard disk to stop, then start up again. Thence no problems, so I am reluctant to try IE again.......
