I was trying to clean up my computer and deleted files through Programs, mostly old HP software for printers that I no longer have, as well as some games my kids put on the computer.

Now it is just not working right - meaning, it will start up, but takes literally 5 - 10 minutes to get to the main logon screen. Click on the Start button and it takes 4-5 min for it to pop up.

I did delete through the programs un-install so it "should" have been done right, but obviously something is not right.

Any suggestions?

save whatever "data" you have on that drive to another and reinstall windows fresh after deleting the partition

any other method will just be patching the holes you've made - unless you can restore to a previous time (say 2 months ago) and it all be like you never deleted anything, then, use the uninstall process to remove the unwanted programs
