    I got a huge list of applications I don't use which have been uninstalled for months ago and I don't need them there anymore, is there a way to delete them? If I select the application, the Remove button is grey and not able to be clicked.

    Thanks

    I think remove button is only available in which programs that you manually added into whitelist.

    I have been wondering how to do the same thing and through my research it seems impossible to remove programs that have been manually added after doing a driver update without clearing the user data. In other words, once you do the update and don't check the box to clear the data (paraphrasing) the programs you added will be in place permanently. It is my understanding that the whitelisted programs are stored in a DAT file that is unreadable and un-editable by the user. If I am wrong, I apologize and I would like to know how to remove them.
