It can't log new installations, though - if you want that, you might like to give Revo's Pro version a whirl for 30 days.

Unlike some uninstallers, Revo begins by creating a system restore point, which is reassuring. It's much more work than selecting the program from a list - a metaphor gone rogue. There's also a strange 'Hunter Mode', which lets you uninstall programs by dragging their icons onto a crosshair on your desktop. Revo Uninstaller Free offers four uninstall options: built-in, safe (built-in with additional registry scanning), moderate (with extra scanning of common locations for leftover files) and advanced (moderate mode, followed by a thorough scanning of your whole system). These really aren't necessary, and just distract from an otherwise solid free uninstaller. Revo Uninstaller Free's icon-strewn interface is colorful but cluttered, and includes tools like a startup program manager, plus links to Windows' own system tools (including defrag and on-screen keyboard).

The main downside of its small size is that it can't log new programs as you install them, but as a program uninstaller it's well designed and not bulked out with unnecessary system tools. It shows you everything it's identified before deleting them, but this doesn't serve much purpose you're unlikely to be able to pick out an individual Registry entry and say "Hang on, I need that!" Safe uninstall is simply a way to access the program's own uninstaller, whereas Forced performs a deep scan to track down scrap files and broken registry entries.

Your choices for each program are Safe and Forced uninstall (some also have a Repair option, but only if it's part of the software in the first place). You probably know what you want to erase, but it's a thoughtful touch. It's a very quick and lean little uninstaller that scans your system for already installed programs and displays ratings to show you how other users feel about them. Wise Program Uninstaller is a portable app, so you don't have to worry about it leaving mess of its own. There's a file shredder thrown in too, which doesn't really fit with the premise of an uninstaller, but all the other tools are relevant and useful.Īll in all, IObit is the best uninstaller you can download, and its thorough scanning makes it the equal of many premium programs. Each extension is accompanied by a user rating to help you decide whether to keep it. It currently supports Firefox and Internet Explorer, but not Chrome or Edge. IObit Uninstaller also takes a look at your web browsers to identify any plugins that could be uninstalled to speed up your surfing. If you've already uninstalled a program but suspect it's left mucky footprints across your drive, IObit's deep scanner can hunt down junk including broken shortcuts and caches created when installing software updates. Its smart, clear interface displays a list of all your installed software, with extra tabs if you're only interested in the newest programs (if you've tried something new and don't like it), and the biggest ones (which will have the greatest impact on system performance). IObit Uninstaller Free gets right down to business, scanning your system for installed software the moment it starts. You'll also be able to empty your recycle bin with a single click, and delete your browser history. Software uninstallers also provide a handy way to manage browser extensions and plugins, and remove any that you don't use. Once they've been purged, the software will then perform another scan to track down and wipe out temporary files and old registry entries, freeing up valuable space and ensuring you don't run into problems when installing a newer version of the same software later on. Third-party software uninstallers can do a more thorough job, quickly scanning your system for all installed programs, and letting you select several at once for removal.

It also doesn't always properly update the registry, either. While Windows comes with an "Add or remove programs" option, all too often you'll be presented with a message telling you that some components couldn't be removed, or the uninstall has failed.Īdditionally, even if the uninstall says it completed, Windows will often leave existing files, folders, and shortcuts in place meaning you have to delete these manually.
