View Full Version : Any uninstall manager that removes EVERY bit of the unwanted file/application?

I use window vista and the uninstall manager on control panel isn't good at all. They don't remove all of the unwanted application, because after uninstalling something, I could still find the application's folder in my hard drive. It uninstalls everything but the folder and junks that I wouldn't need after uninstalling the program. I haven't notice this before, so every program I've installed and uninstalled since I bought my computer is still in my hard drive somewhere. That's a whole lot of unwanted junk...

I was wondering if there was an uninstall manager (3rd party) freeware that would successfully allow me to delete and uninstall ALL TRACES of that unwanted application/program, not leaving anything behind. I wouldn't be able to afford any store programs.

:D:)

Situations like this I use a registry cleaner after uninstalling software, I'm sure you are aware of ccleaner, I personally use
Adv System Care

There is Revo Uninstaller - innovative freeware uninstall utility

Revo Uninstaller helps you to uninstall and remove unwanted programs installed on your computer even if you have problems uninstalling and cannot uninstall them from "Windows Add or Remove Programs" control panel applet. Revo Uninstaller is a much faster and more powerful alternative to "Windows Add or Remove Programs" applet!

Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Uninstall Software, Remove Programs, Solve uninstall problems (http://www.revouninstaller.com/)

Even if using a 3rd party uninstaller I would still use a registry cleaner type of app, ccleaner is freeware

And you still may have instances when you have to manually delete the folder but above info should get rid of all the information that was in the registry, so deleting the folder would be only thing have to do
