• Answer:

  The two Windows Live entries, and that's about it. Virtually everything else is part of Windows, or DELL support Apps, or Adobe and Java website-enhancement Utilities. And, everything Apple is needed by iTunes. Chrome may or may need some of them, but delete at your own peril. It makes more sense to leave anything alone that you're NOT sure that you don't need.
