If your operating system is MSDOS you probably can get away with that....

Since you posted on a web site, I have certain doubts that you are running dos.

Installing an application is a complex process that installs files and information in multiple places in the computer's operating system.

As a couple examples:

.dll files are often installed into folders other than the program folder. There are registry entries made by some installations that will keep windows from successfully booting into normal mode, if the expected files are not found.

Deletion is an incomplete process at best, and can break your operating system at worst.

What are the basic steps to performing software removal?

The basic steps to remove software safely are 1) Backup your data, personal or otherwise. Depending on the software you are trying to remove, you may want to err on the side of caution. For example, if you are removing a Windows Service Pack, you'd definitely want to do a complete backup. 2) Remove the software via a software removal tool such as the one provided by Windows (accessed via the Control Panel). This is important because when the software was installed, system registry keys may have been added or modified, and you want these keys to revert to the pre-install state. 3) Verify successful software removal. Make sure the program is completely gone from your computer, and check to make sure your personal data is safe. In the event your software did not successfully uninstall, you may need to consult your favorite computer technician. Hope this is helpful!
