    I have around 2 gigs of space used up by Wild Tangent (see thumbnails)

    I am not an on-line gamer, and probably never will be.
    Any implications if I delete all references to Wild Tangent?

    It probably is part of the Toshiba installation of Windows 7 Home Premium OS on my laptop. I have plenty of Hard drive space, so space is not the problem. I just like to prune my OS of all stuff I probably will never use.

    Can anyone give my a counter argument on why I should keep Wild Tangent?
    How is the best way to delete all references to Wild Tangent?

    TIA, Bazza

    WildTangent is an online games service hosted in the US. The WildTangent installation is the application that allows you to play games hosted on the WildTangent website here:
    http://www.wildtangent.com/

    It will probably have been pre-installed at the Toshiba factory if you did not install it yourself. If you never intend to use that service it can be uninstalled by following this guide: http://www.pchell.com/support/wildtangent.shtml

    In any case, you can download and install it again yourself if you later decide you want to play their games. Download here: http://www.wildtangent.com/GamesApp

    It's one of the first things I remove using Revo Uninstaller.
