Hello! Today we will look at the topic of removing software from your computer.
After all, it is very important to get rid of the program correctly, without leaving "tails" from it.
In one of the articles I wrote about.
Today we will focus on a similar and professional tool.
Revo Uninstaller is an effective free utility-uninstaller of unnecessary programs from your computer. It is designed for correct and complete removal of software, without leaving all sorts of traces of it.
Sometimes it happens that when you uninstall various software, files, folders, records and other garbage remain in the system from it. This "slag" affects the speed and performance of the OS.
Some programs generally refuse to be removed from the computer. In these cases, the Revo Uninstaller utility should and must help us.
It is produced by the manufacturer in several versions: paid (Pro), free and portable. Has a Russian, informative and clear interface. Suitable for an ordinary user who does not have professional computer skills. Also, the utility has additional useful functions. But this will be discussed further.
We will download Revo Uninstaller from the official website of the developer www.revouninstaller.com. Next, let's take a closer look at the free version of the Revo Uninstaller Free program.
How to uninstall an unnecessary program using
Revo Uninstaller
We launch the utility and this is how its main window looks like.
By default, the main item "Uninstaller" is active. Before us is the entire list of programs installed on the computer. Select the program you want to get rid of and click on the "Remove" button.
A system warning will pop up, click "Yes".
Next, we will be asked to select the uninstall mode: built-in, safe, moderate and advanced. Each of them is described in detail about what it includes. I chose the latter as it is the most efficient.
Creation will begin. Those. later it will be possible to return everything back. It will also analyze the application data and launch the built-in uninstaller of the uninstalled program.
Then they will again ask if we really want to remove the program and all its components. We press "Yes".
The application found the remaining items in the registry. It is worth familiarizing yourself with them, putting all the checkmarks and clicking the "Delete" button. Then we move on to the next phase of the removal operation, “Next”.
As you can see from the screenshot, the remaining files and folders were found. Again we are doing the already familiar procedure: put a checkmark, click on the delete button and “Next”.
Done, the utility will warn you about the successful completion of the uninstall procedure.
You can also delete the program using the “Hunter Mode”. A very interesting feature. Having switched to this mode, in the upper right part of the monitor you need to find a small window in the form of a sight.
Click on it with the left mouse button and hold it down, drag the sight to the shortcut of the program to be deleted. Then follow the tooltips.
Additional features of Revo Uninstaller
In addition to its main task of removing programs, the utility can optimize the computer. This is a very nice addition. When you click on the "Tools" button, a window with the "Optimization" tab will open, where there are three items: autorun manager, Windows tools, junk cleaner. Let's consider each of them.
Startup manager.
Autostart contains programs that run along with the Windows operating system. The more there are, the slower the launch will be.
You should look at the applications presented, perhaps you do not use some of them so often. You can remove them from autorun by unchecking the checkbox or using the right mouse button. All this has a positive effect on the speed of turning on the computer, and the necessary program, in the future, can be launched through a shortcut on the Desktop.
Windows tools.
Here are the basic Windows system tools.
You can start any of them from this window, and not by entering their name in the Windows search bar. This utility item is more suitable for convenience, rather than optimization.
Junk file cleaner.
Users using a program to clean their computer will find this feature familiar. To activate this function, you need to click on the "Scan" button.
The program will scan the computer system, analyze the received data and determine which of the files are absolutely unnecessary. After analysis, you can familiarize yourself with them in the utility window. To get rid of them, click on the "Delete" button. All this will free up disk space on your computer, which will have a positive effect on its performance.
This concludes the review of the very useful utility Revo Uninstaller. So, we looked at an effective uninstaller that gets rid of unnecessary applications without leaving any traces of them. In addition, the utility contains functions for optimizing your computer. So, what if you have a question - which program to remove unnecessary programs? Feel free to choose Revo Uninstaller.
I am asked a lot of questions regarding the correct removal of software from the computer. Today I will tell you about a utility that I have been using for a long time and I think there is no better one - this program is Revo Uninstaller. If you disagree with me, please tell us about your choice.
Every day we install new programs on our PC, update something, just try something at work - we leave only the ones we like and really need. But in order to test the program, you need to install it on your computer.
During the installation process, the program places its files and modules in various folders and parts of the system: something is written to startup, something to the registry, something to various user folders. The process of integrating the program into the system partition of the hard disk is quite deep.
In this situation, the deletion process does not always go smoothly, and it is simply impossible to manually delete all program files. That. an incompletely erased program takes up disk space, adds garbage to the system registry, and creates problems for the operating system.
deleting files with Revo Uninstaller
The Revo Uninstaller utility is a good choice as a replacement for the “native” Windows OS option “Add or Remove Programs”.
The main advantage of the utility is that in the process of uninstalling a program, it scans the operating system for traces of the program to be removed on the hard disk. In addition, Revo Uninstaller has many features inherent in the popular CCleaner:
- management of the Startup Manager;
- receive detailed information about a specific program;
- find and delete unnecessary temporary files with the “Junk File Cleaner”;
- look for and fix errors in the registry, etc.
setting up Revo Uninstaller
1. You can download the program from the official website of the developer, or you can download the portable version of the program using my link (in this case, there will be no need to install it, you just need to download and run it for work).
2. Run the program -> go to “Options” in the upper toolbar of the program (if it is not available, select “Windows Tools” in the left pane and try again -> in the window that opens, select the language “Russian / Russian”.
3. In the same window, go to the “Uninstaller” tab and mark the indicated items with a tick.
The first of them means that if after uninstalling the program the system is unstable, then it will be possible to "roll back the system" to the previous state to resume the operation of the OS.
The second highlighted item means that the files found by Revo Uninstaller will not be deleted permanently, but will be placed in the Trash, from where they can be restored.
how to use Revo Uninstaller
1. Run the application in the “Uninstaller” section, specify the program you want to uninstall. The application will ask you to confirm your decision, click on the "Yes" button.
2. A window for selecting the deletion mode will open:
- Built-in - launches the uninstaller of the Windows operating system without additional verification.
- Safe - performs the first item and additionally searches the hard disk and the registry for items associated with the file to be deleted and safe for deletion.
- Moderate is the default item; includes the previous items plus an advanced search for information related to the program to be removed.
- Advanced - the slowest mode, which checks the hard disk and the system registry for any information about the program to be removed.
3. Select the mode that suits you and click the "Next" button. The process at each stage will display relevant information to you and ask for confirmation to continue the process of removing traces of the program from your PC.
4. At the end of all the stages, the program will inform you about the successful completion of the operation to remove the program from your computer.
I advise you to use this program in order to reduce the clutter of your computer and require less frequent measures to optimize the operation of the system.

And an additional panel with buttons will open on the left.
I will consider in order the purpose of each of these tools.

To make sure that any program can be removed from your computer, you must read the article thoroughly and carefully. Removing programs is possible without installing additional programs,
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs, this is the fastest way to remove programs, but after uninstalling in this way, registry entries and hidden folders remain in the system. The trash that remains can be the cause of a crash, system freezes and of course take up space on your hard drive.
To solve this problem, we will use the free Revo Uninstaller program, which will quickly remove the program and even the program that is not uninstalled in the standard way. Revo Uninstaller is a good addition to the system, with this utility you will remove non-removable programs with created entries in the registry, folders, settings, etc.
Installing Revo Uninstaller to uninstall programs
After downloading the program, run the installation file.
Select "Russian" and click "OK".
We put a tick “I accept the terms of the agreement”. Click "Next".
Click "Install".
The program is installed on your computer. Click “Finish”.
How to use Revo Uninstaller or how to uninstall a program
After installation, launch the program and a window will open on the screen. Select the program you want to remove, press the “Remove” button. Using the AIMP player as an example, you will clearly see how easy it is to uninstall the program. Select AIMP with the left mouse button and press the "Delete" button.
The program will ask you to confirm the deletion, click "YES".
In the next window, you need to select the uninstall mode. There are 4 types of modes in this program: built-in, safe, medium, extended. We choose the advanced one, as it performs an in-depth analysis of the registry, folders and program links. This mode is slower than all others. Click "Next".
The program will analyze and launch the built-in uninstaller of the program, which is built into AIMP. If you are prompted to click "Next", "Next", "Uninstall", "OK", or something similar, then feel free to click them. If you do not have a built-in uninstaller, then you need to follow a different path, which is described below (Hunting mode). After you have removed the program, you need to click "Next" to search for files, folders and registry entries.
On average, scanning takes about 10 to 60 seconds, depending on the amount of information being processed. When scanning is over, click "Next".
When scanning, entries in the registry, files and pops, they may not be found, which means the uninstaller has worked its function for 100 percent result. If the scanner has found entries in the registry, put a tick “My Computer”. Click the "Delete" button and click "Next".
Click "End".
After all these steps, you can be sure that there are no files and registry entries left by this program on your computer.
If the program is not in the list to remove programs

That's all. Thanks for reading the article. I hope you found it useful.
Not all unnecessary files from a computer can be deleted just like that: some are not deleted completely, others are scattered all over the computer, others are constantly accumulating as a result of the operating system, and most users have no idea about them. All these files slow down the computer and take up free space. The obvious solution to the problem is to uninstall them, which Revo Uninstaller does just fine.
Features of the program
The classic removal of previously installed programs and files does not always lead to a truly complete removal of the software. There are almost always a lot of unnecessary files left.
These files can be used:
- When you reinstall the software.
- To collect any information about a computer or user.
- Files can simply be created and remain as a result of work, after which they take up free space for years without benefit to the owner.
For this reason, it is important to know how to use Revo Uninstaller Pro so that your computer does not turn into a slow-working "trash heap" over time.
Revo Uninstaller can perform the following functions:
- Complete removal of programs from the computer, including the removal of files from user folders, various subsections and directories of the hard disk.
- Configure the automatic launch of programs when the computer is turned on: enable the necessary ones, disable or restrict those that are required only from time to time.
- Delete system files, temporary documents and other things that have already been used and in the future will not be needed by you or your computer. Some of these files can be deleted without an uninstaller, but not all of them can only be deleted after restarting the computer, which is not always convenient and, in principle, possible.
How to use the program?
You can download the program on the official website and use it for 30 days. During this time, you can remove the annoying non-removable program from your computer and thoroughly clean your computer from garbage.
- Go to the official website and download the trial version for free.
2. Install the program on your computer
3. Run the program
Please note that the program will work only under an administrator account.
Uninstaller
This section shows all programs installed on the computer. In the upper part of the window, those that have been installed recently are displayed in a separate line - this way you can immediately clean the computer of unnecessary or accidentally installed ones.
Removing programs occurs by pressing the "Remove" button. However, the work does not end there, and after uninstalling, Revo will offer to scan the system for files remaining from the software.
Scanning is carried out in one of three modes:
- Moderate;
- Safe;
- Advanced
In order to remove all the garbage left from the uninstalled program, we will use the deepest scanning mode - "advanced".
Some time after its launch, a window will be shown in which all residual information about a specific program in the system will be displayed. These junk files are deleted in three steps: first, select absolutely all files, then click on the "delete" button, then click on the "next" button.
Attention! After deleting additional program files, another window with a list of files may appear. Documents with which the uninstalled program interacted in some way are displayed here, or they contain information about it.
The remaining files must be carefully reviewed and deleted only those that relate to the program to be removed. If you are unsure or not well versed in this, skip this step and click the "Finish" button.
Startup manager
With the help of Revo Uninstaller, you can configure the autostart of those programs that are necessary in the work immediately after turning on the computer. To do this, you need to find an autorun manager among the tools.
It should be understood that many developers like to install their software in autorun so that they always use it. In reality, computer owners may not be aware of this and may not need these programs. They should be disabled, since each unnecessary task for autorun adds additional time to boot the system and slows down its work.
Next, in the manager window that opens, leave the "checkmarks" in front of those applications that you need immediately after turning on the computer. 
Cleaners
Browser Cleaner, Junk Files, Office and Windows are divided into different menu items for convenience. At the same time, they should be used for one purpose: to delete unnecessary files formed during operation:
- For the browser, these are cache, cookies, search history, download history, history of visited sites and other information.
- For Windows, this is the de cache, the history of the system, the trash bin files and other unnecessary garbage, as well as cleaning the registry and unnecessary operating system files on the hard drive.
- For Office, this is a cleaning of unnecessary files that appeared when working with the corresponding office applications.
In general, it is hardly worth seriously changing the settings here, since the operating systems and main programs are arranged the same for everyone, and therefore the extra files are practically the same. After removing them, you will immediately see how much more productive the computer has become and how faster it works.
