Using Limewire is not illegal. Limewire is a P2P file sharing utility. If you share files which are copyrighted and without a licence or permission then that is illegal.
Because limewire is a peer to peer server, meaning that their is no central thing that operates it somewhere, to stop limewire the police would have to go to every computer in the world that has limewire on it and manually delete it off of every computer. As long as two people have limewire and are sharing files with each other it will keep going.
You do find information about the peer to peer file sharing client Limewire through their own official site "LimeWire". Limewire is under a court order dated october 26, 2010 to stop distributing the limewire software.
You have to go into your documents and into the limewire folder and delete it out of the "library or "download" folder
As of my last knowledge, LimeWire is a file-sharing platform that was shut down due to copyright infringement issues. LimeWire accounts were not typically created or required for its use. If you are looking to stop using LimeWire, simply uninstall the software from your device and delete any downloaded files. It's also recommended to run a malware scan on your device after removing LimeWire to ensure no harmful software was downloaded along with it.
The torrent file association option in Limewire at Options>Advanced>file association needs to be disabled. The "torrent sharing" option at Options>Sharing>Advanced also should be disabled. There are screen shots in the related link.

To delete files from your LimeWire account, open the application and navigate to your shared files list. Select the file you wish to delete, right-click on it, and choose the option to remove or delete it.
