Remove Gizmo

Gizmo lets you make phone calls over the Internet, but it is easy to remove the program.


Gizmo is a VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) service that allows users to make and receive phone calls from their computers. Google purchased the company, but two years later decided to end the service. Users had to download software to use Gizmo, and now that Google has discontinued the service, many users no longer need the program. Removing Gizmo from the computer is easy to do and frees up space on the hard drive.


Instructions


1. Click "Start" at the bottom of desktop. Scroll up and click "Control Panel."


2. Click "Programs and Features" and click "Uninstall a Program." The process is for computers with Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.


3. Wait for a new window to open that lists all the currently installed programs on the computer.


4. Scroll down the list to find Gizmo5 or any previous version of Gizmo you have. Click on the program.


5. Click the "Uninstall" button. A dialog box opens asking for you to confirm removal of the program. Click the "Yes" button.


6. Wait for a new window to open entitled "Uninstalling." This window closes once Gizmo is removed.


7. Reboot the computer.
