No, "scavenge" implies searching around for things not needed and removing
them. So it is exactly what a garbage collector does.
If you want to get rid of Internet Explorer from Windows, then the word
would be "remove" (or, if you particularly want to vent your
anti-Microsoft views, you could say "excise").
