Very niche Microsoft fact: the Japanese edition of Office didn't have Clippy. Instead, it had a cute dolphin character 
named Kairu (inversion of "iruka", dolphin in Japanese)pic.twitter.com/HtDHDUJNUF

Fun fact: The query says "How to kill you"
That's not what it says. It says お前を消す方法. The picture is a joke, you see. People didn't find poor Kairu very helpful in practice.

For English speakers reading this: in this context, it would translate as "how can I get rid of you".

I’m a native Japanese speaker and both of your translations are right. For me, the translation of “How to kill you?” is more sound. (1/n)
