Cons
- The PC should not be used during uninstallation
Our Verdict
Uninstalr removes Windows software almost always without leaving any residue, also detects fragments of previously removed programs, and saves a lot of manual work thanks to batch processing.
The freeware Uninstalr promises to remove programs and apps from the system almost without leaving any residue. A few seconds after starting, Uninstalr presents a comprehensive list of all programs installed on the system and the memory space they occupy.
You can then select one or more programs from the overview, which Uninstalr then removes in batches. To our positive surprise, some programs marked as “leftovers” also appeared here, which we had actually already removed months ago using on-board tools.
Well thought out: Thanks to a filter function, all Microsoft programs remained invisible. This ensured that we didn’t inadvertently remove any components that were important for the operation of Windows.
Uninstalr shows which files and registry entries will be deleted or cleaned before removal. If desired, the software can close all running programs at the start of the uninstall process and restart the system once it has finished.
The actual uninstallation process takes no less time than with Windows on-board tools, probably (but hardly realistically measurable) even slightly longer, as Uninstalr thoroughly cleans the registry and searches the system for leftovers.
As we found out, the software does its job thoroughly. And, quite unironically, it’s also available in a version that does not require installation.
Bottom line? Uninstalr almost always removes Windows software without leaving any residue, also detects fragments of previously removed programs, and saves a lot of manual work thanks to batch processing.
