To remove the CPU fan on an eMachines T2862 desktop computer, you'll need to follow these steps:

Shut down your computer and unplug it from the power source.

Open the computer case by removing the screws or clips that hold the side panel in place.

Locate the CPU fan, which is attached to the heatsink that covers the CPU.

Disconnect the power cable that runs from the fan to the motherboard. You may need to gently pull up on the plastic tab that holds the cable in place to release it.

Look for the clips or screws that hold the fan in place. Depending on the fan model, there may be two or four of these fasteners.

Remove the clips or screws, and gently lift the fan off the heatsink.

Clean the heatsink and fan thoroughly with compressed air or a soft brush to remove any dust or debris.

To reattach the fan, simply reverse the steps above. Be sure to connect the power cable to the motherboard and secure the clips or screws tightly to prevent the fan from coming loose. Finally, replace the side panel and secure it with screws or clips.
