    You can't do it if not mistaken. LOL. Just like Windows Firewall, you can disable or turn it off but can't remove it. I think it's due to it's part of the Windows.

    Accept that you can't remove it but you can turn it off so as far as installing another firwall there shouldn't be a problem.

    . You can't remove them as mentioning by others

    . Just leave them there disabled, you'll be surprised when you need them back as backups.

    cheers ...
