How to remove the "junk" from MT4...Alligator, Bill Williams, etc

I'm looking to un-clutter my MT4, I want to move out all the "junk" I don't use. I know how to removed indicators and experts, but I want to remove every single indicator and then add just what I use.

I have the six indicators that are above the pull downs (Bollinger Bands, Accelerator Oscillator, etc) and everything inside the pull downs except the "Custom" tab is clear remaining after removing every indicator and expert I could find in my MT4 folder.

I haven't been deleting them, just moving them to another folder in my computer.

Can this other stuff be removed? If so, how?

Thanks,
Steve

From the navigator bar, why don't you right click any of the indicators, experts, scripts you like and save them to favourites. Then you have in one place all the stuff you like & easy to access all in one place.
The favorites tab is at the bottom of the navigator bar.
It never gets easier, you just get better

no its not, because that shows only custom indicators. the indicators shown under just "Indicators" are there for ever and cant be removed.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks.

I hadn't tried the 'favorites' thing, I'll give that a try.

LOL....... your last name is Williams ?

And you want to remove Bill Williams indicators?

How ironic is that?

It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.
