Hi guys,

can some one give a tip about a good software that searchs and eliminates software allready uninstalled ?
I use Uninstall tool to uninstall software, and it scans registry leftovers. however, some folders and files remains at the disk
If there's software that makes what i wish for, i would be appreciated

I use Revo Uninstaller Pro, and its really good at removing all the leftovers. And I've used Iobit Uninstaller too. Works great and its free too.
I'd advice, try Iobit uninstaller first. If it isn't good enough for you, go ahead and get yourself Revo Uninstaller Pro.

Revo is very good as is Iobit, which is what I use!
You can then follow up with Ccleaner to remove any further registry entries that are left over.:)

I use IObit Uninstaller 2.4 for my program uninstalls and supports Windows 64-bit (ie. C:\Program Files (x86)\ and C:\Program Files\, and it's completely portable.

You can use Revo Uninstaller Free on both Windows 32-bit and 64-bit, except it does not support uninstallation for software installed in C:\Program Files\ on a 64-bit OS. Revo Uninstaller Pro is more updated, but it's not free.
Scroll to bottom for Portable (free) http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

I've not tried other uninstallers.

Edit: For already uninstalled programs, unless the vendor has a dedicated 'Removal / Uninstall tool', you may have to manually delete files, folders and registry items. You can also use CCleaner's registry cleaner to identify left over keys.
