    There's not a lot of point in trying to delete IE, because many of its key components are built into Windows and cannot be removed.

    Far easier simply not to use it, and to use the extra security features that can be added to Firefox - such as Noscript.

    If you delete all cookies, you will probably lose tracking cookies which help to identify you to sites you have previously visited. If you disable cookies, you will find that certain features on websites such as checkouts will no longer work.

    Leave IE alone. Removing it could turn into a much bigger mess than you could imagine
