Windows Built-in, why use a 3rd party , when the one in Windows do its job properly.

To remove some of the leftovers that a program's included uninstaller leaves behind. I find this to be useful, as I install software just about every day, and end up uninstalling a lot of it. Doing a clean install of Windows from time to time, is not an option, as I've got hundreds of programs installed, and don't want to start from scratch.

I do it manually or use Ccleaner.

so Rollback RX or similar would help you a lot.

I now use Revo uninstaller but honestly don't need it. I usually restore the pc when i want to remove a program.

How do you cleanup leftovers with CCleaner?

I used it many years ago. But, I prefer to uninstall software. There are often times there is some software I want to remove, but there is some more recent software I've installed that I want to keep.

Geek Uninstaller

I use "Your Uninstaller"

It's a program like most uninstallers but I like it and I intend to stick with it.

Bought it in November of 2005---- my gracious - 11 years ago.

Revo Pro all day.
I have tried them all and settled on Revo Pro (Lifetime)
Ccleaner often finds nothing left behind after a uninstall with Revo
With some of the others Ccleaner finds a bunch of leftovers.

I use Soft Organizer, it is possible to trace the program's installation in order to obtain its complete removal.
But also in a standard way (without tracing) it does a good job finding a lot of leftovers.

Revo Uninstaller Pro and an older version of IObit Uninsaller portable. If there are still any leftovers, CCleaner will do the job, which rarely any leftovers.

I use Soft Organizer it seems to do a good job with the leftovers after you trace the install.

Why do you use an older version of IObit Uninstaller? The latest version is available on PortableApps.

Latest versions silently install with no native portability and have features that otherwise exist in other software.

Thanks, but no thanks. I only run Revo when required.

No program is able to remove all leftovers...

• Rollback System
• Restore System Image
• Isolate in Sandbox
• Isolate to VM
• Various tools that can search the drive and registry
