Most toolbars, especially in the Internet Explorer take up a lot of space, thus giving you lesser space to see websites and web pages.
There is the Favorites bar, the Menu Bar, and sometimes, numerous third party toolbars that you decided to install.
Having too many toolbars will fill up most of your viewing area.
If you want to delete the third party toolbars, the easiest way you can do that is go to the Control Panel, click on the Add/Remove Programs, look for the toolbars you wanted to delete and then click on the Remove or Delete Program. However, if you want to delete the Favorites toolbar because you do not find it very useful for your internet use, then there are several ways you can do it.

Click on the View menu.
Look for and select the option for Toolbar.
