Uninstall clean-up, good idea?

The recent go-around on Java and its removal/uninstall caused me to look at the software installed on one of my XP systems. Some I have no idea what it is, other such as Google Chrome I know is a browser. One thing in common besides being installed on my computer I can not remember ever taking action to install or approve installation of this stuff. Is it a good idea to sweep "stuff" like this out? The risk is the "stuff" is needed and I just didn't know it. A caution may be to establish a "restore point" before removing then watch to see if a problem develops, and if so do a restore.

For starters I will uninstall Google Chrome - it is just another browser, right?
