iTunes has always been a popular choice for Windows users looking to organize and listen to their music library, allowing them to sort their files in a way that makes finding their favorite artists and songs a total cinch.

You can even listen to podcasts, manage your iPhone, or stream Apple Music in iTunes, making it a one stop shop for all things music.

However, if you've navigated over to Spotify or another music program and no longer use iTunes, you can uninstall the program from Windows quickly and easily.

The good news is that doing so won't automatically delete your music files, so you can keep your songs without the bulky Apple software.

Here's how to uninstall iTunes in Windows 10.
