    You cannot remove IE. It is part of the operating system. Windows Update and other Windows programs and many third party programs (like anti-virus programs) use IE to connect to the internet.

    The most you can do is delete the shortcuts for it

    No, because it is so tightly integrated in Windows that trying to remove it can cripple your computer. Your best options are to just not use it, or effectively disable it, as descried here:

    No, especially in later versions of windows, it is close integrated with the operating system.
