    Default How do I delete My Built in web-cam Hardware?

    You can't delete hardware. You can only delete software. You can remove hardware by physically taking it out of the computer.

    However, what you want to do is disable the built in web cam driver.

    To disable your integrated webcam, open your Device Manager.
    Click on the Imaging devices
    Right click on the Webcam device
    Select Disable

    Do NOT Uninstall
    With Uninstall, Windows will just reinstall it during the next reboot.

    To re-enable the webcam, repeat the above procedure,
    but right click on the webcam device and select Enable.
    This will return the webcam to its current state

    To permanently disable this, you need to go into your control panel/system/hardware/device manager. Look for your webcam, right click on it and select disable. Then if you want it to run again just go back and select enable.
