- You are Only UNINSTALLING Programs Not REMOVING them from Windows - BIG MISTAKE
Stop using this old and traditional way to uninstall any app or program from your Windows machine as it only uninstalls the program and doesn't remove them from your device.

#windows11 #windows10 #uninstall
The only Uninstaller that I use is Revo Uninstaller
Revo gets it all. Folder and registry add ons!
Glary Utilities is great too, i switch recently, because I have full package... maybe revo for uninstall is better a bit
Yup I bought the program and use it to install programs too so it knows what it put on the drive.
dude what revo uninstaller free a good too?
i cant buy the pro version cause i still need for real life others needs
@@theshih-tzudad4068 can the free version Revo delete registry and other junks files too?
Revo Uninstaller does the job right... 💥
Yes! I have this and it works great.
So does iobit
What if i want to uninstall Revo Uninstaller
same question i was going to ask🤣🤣
You will have to uninstall your laptop
Bro have a problem for the Solution.
@@ArnabOGthat's a talent too

Whether or not all remnants of the program are removed depends on the install and uninstall routines of the particular software package. A software author can choose to remove all remnants such as registry entries and program directories such as C:\User\Username\Appdata\Roaming\Program_Name\*.*. This could also include auxiliary programs. Many software authors don't want to go to the trouble to do this, particularly for the registry entries. This is one reason I don't like using the registry for application programs. I prefer the traditional Unix/Linux method of putting all program related data in a separate directory and subdirectories for a particular program and using .ini files for information about any data the program may use. I have seen this method used for science and engineering software that runs on multiple systems.
For Windows programs that use the registry and common directories such as C:\User\Username\Appdata for program information I have used uninstallers such as Iobit Uninstaller and Revo Uninstaller. I prefer Iobit Uninstaller Professional in spite of the tendency of Iobit to try to install other utilities at the same time.
This is why MS's new (experimental) operating systems use manifest files that explain (and grant permissions to) for all the files and directories the program uses. Installing the program installs the (equivalent of) AppData directory for cached stuff, and it knows to take it out, and makes it accessible to only that program. The general design is to have not have any files on the system unassociated with a specific program except those in user directories like "Documents."
Uninstall failures are entirely due to sloppy programming by lazy software devs who are only too happy to spray their stuff all over the place (Program Files, ProgramData, %User%, %User%\Appdata etc) but can't be bothered to clear up when they're done. It's not difficult to write an uninstall routine to completely get rid of whatever you put there, particularly when you're the one who knows where it all went in the first place, it's just plain damn laziness. Quite honestly, it's like renting out space to a bad tenant who knocks down some walls, puts others up, repaints what's left in hideous colours, and leaves you to deal with the mess when you evict them. Those devs and their software companies should be named and shamed.
Thank you so much. Glad that I finally got rid of programs, that were not fully gone.
That is not a mistake. That is how softwares work in general.
The un-installer will not un-install any files that it did not install. Configuration and manifest files created by the application are not un-installed by the un-installer so that some other application depending on those files does not misbehave and crash the system. 🤦♀🤦♀🤦♂🤦♂🤦🤦
So according to you keeping any apps files in drive and registry is good, when u assume that it has been deleted
The only files that makes sense to clean up, is cache files that takes up a lot of space. Since Windows 10, cleaning the registry has no impact on performance, and can actually make Windows unstable.
@@CrownGEEK Which part of my comment says it is good?
What I said is not some feel good thoughts that I pulled out of thin air. These are best practices that are followed by experienced developers and sysadmins all over the world. Organizations like Revo Group who develop cleaning/removing softwares like Revo understand these best practices and Software Development principles and methodologies extremely well, which is why they are able to develop a software that is capable of cleaning/removing the leftover remains of applications post UN-install, so well and without crashing the Operating system.
Additionally, you have chosen a terrible example. Those two software products have their own independent application installer packages. It is possible that one installs the other and that they may need each other to work in unison(I am not sure about that yet), but they are two different packages as in one can be installed without the other, as shown in this links :

@@powerdude_dk While you are right about most situations, it is not always possible to delete these types of files. Let me elaborate with an example :
If you create a volume of 100 TiB and format it with NTFS file system, the NTFS file system will create a metadata footprint of about 1.2 TiB, in it's completely blank state. As you add data(files/folders) in this 100TiB volume, the FileSystem metadata footprint will grow in size. Let's say after a year you realized that you do not need 100TiB volume, only 25 TiB is enough, you can shrink the NTFS file system to 25TiB and post that shrink the partition to 25TiB. However, the 1.2TiB + File System metadata will remain as it is. There will be additional File System Metadata generated to work with the new size of 25TiB. Now if you manage to delete that old 1.2 TiB + metadata, you will find that your file system is now corrupted after deleting it. This is because, even though the file system has been shrunk, the old metadata is still used to maintain the file system.
Most temporary cache files are in the %Temp% directory in Windows, which after a re-boot deletes all it's contents.
@@CrownGEEKIt is neither good or bad, it's irrelevant. You will not gather enough junk over the lifetime of the Windows install to matter.
Ex-microsoft employee here.
Don’t follow this.
But why, plz share?
@@BakaDev. the remnants which revo cleans is not going to bloat your registry. Even Revo recommends to use the uninstaller. The tool is used only when the uninstaller also fails. Also, This tool is used in certain conditions where there is an absolute requirement for a clean installation of the same application you choose to reinstall.
The files saved on the computer also carries the information related to ur purchase. Keys and activation. U delete them, and if u lose the serial keys, say bye to buy a new upgrade at a discounted price.
I remember a rule of thumb when uninstalling/deleting a program...
Turn OFF System Restore.
Shift + Delete on some applications...
That was for XP and before...
Vista to present now uses Carbon Shadow Copy...
A sneaky DCIM (type) file now bypasses turning off system restore...
So nothing actually gets deleted...
You know there's a button to delete all the VSS snapshots, right?
@@darrennew8211 I may glow like a night light...But, I am still plugged in.
Thank you. You are correct. Most people are unaware of these things
Great tip on the Revo uninstaller, thanks. In the options menu do I need to check or un-check the Make a System Restore Point before uninstall? Thanks again
You can make a restore point, but I never had a problem. So I don't create a restore point
@@CrownGEEK Really appreciate you, thanks
NEVER make a "System Restore Point" when removing CRAP
When you got your ass kicked at 12 years old,
do you want to do a system restore and have your ass kicked again?
@@jesseparker5669only make a restore point when deleting some system app which can cause crash upon uninstall
I'm always watching your videos thank you boss😊😊
Thank you brother
Thanks for the support ❤️
How does Revo handle shared resources?
Also, not all registry entries for a given application contain the apps name...how well does Revo find these "now orphaned" keys?
fun fact-this admin is techno uplift!
I like GEEK uninstaller which removes all other files after uninstall
Yes, geek uninstaller is good too
So what should be done ✅ . I have previously uninstalled certain applications in the Traditional Method and I have files of it as "Leftover's" in my storage and occupying all the space . Is there any methodology to even eliminate these files .
Does Revo also cleanup files of apps that were uninstalled before you installed Revo?
@@sergeyalexandrovich8443 no, not to my knowledge. It has always been about removing remains AFTER an uninstall by Revo
There are still some programs which are not completly removed from system even by Revo Uninstaller like IDM. Lot of registery remains. My personal experience
There are many programs that come with additional add-ons, just like mcafee web comes with mcafee protection, so you also need to remove every app related to it.
what if I've had tons of applications installed in earlier days on my pc and now I've already uninstalled most of them. Is there a way to remove files of non-existing application like multiple applications?
Yes, video will be soon about a tool that will help to view all the files easily occupying the space. You can use that tool to delete such remaining files
@@CrownGEEK Alright. Thanks.
Never heard that Windows uninstalls programs, that’s rubbish . It’s the particular programs setup/uninstaller script which does it. And by the way, I would mot touch McAfee with a 10-foot pole.
Thank you sir for this valuable information. May I ask is there software available that you know of that will check your installed programs and see if there are programs that have been uninstalled the traditional way you have shown us in this video and give us the option to remove all of those leftover files and folders and windows registry entries?
Thank you sir for your consideration to this inquiry and have a great day sir,
Eddie Rogers, Minister, D.D.
I will try to bring a video with such tool, meanwhile you can search for those folders in c drive with program files and program data
@@CrownGEEK thank you. I will do this. Have a great day 😀 😊 ☺
bro one question make video about unwanted apps delete in hp laptop
Geek seems to do it well. Geek is a program, not a comment on the video creator.
FYI Windows doesn't uninstall those programs, the programs uninstaller/setup is the one who removes itself. Before uninstalling make sure you don't have the program opened or its dependencies are running else those files will be left unattended (will be removed after a restart).
exactly, just make sure all programs and services related are closed before uninstalling. restart may not be required after.
After uninstall, the web advisor folder was there because that is a separate application. You uninstalled McAfee, so that folder is uninstalled.
Saying a leftover file to be dangerous if not uninstalled by a third-party is exaggerated and wrong. Once you uninstall, the executable file gets uninstalled. So it can't run on its own.
User can delete %temp% files manually if they want instead of using a separate 3rd party app.
I add and remove programs with Revo uninstaller
what about revo uninstaller itself haha
How can I uninstall Edge on windows 10/11 I've tried some methods but nothing has worked i have another old laptop with windows 7 ultimate in that it has the option to remove Edge
Now what if you want to uninstall the revo uninstaller app?
Oh please....ditch the stupid whoosh sound!!! It's hard enough to understand you without captions. The sound effects just make it worse 🙄.
Đúng là chỗ đó mình ko nghĩ tới vì cái 25:28 nó phải đi theo cặp cho 2 tên 3 vì có sự chồng lên giữa 2 và 4 cho nên tuy là double rồi nhưng vẫn phải double một lần nữa.
Geek uninstaller left tons of files everywhere. It was a good test, but it failed. Back to Revo now.
I uninstall from the control panel.
I use BCUninstaller it also removes leftovers.
Oh that's good
thanks bro really helpfull
McAfee is a bad example because it often have several separate uninstallers.
You only uninstalled McAfee Total Protection, and didn't notice WebAdvisor was also in the list.
McAfee WebAdvisor is still in the programs folder because you didn't uninstall that from the control panel. It has it's own uninstaller (look at the last item in the "Programs and Features" list or the "Installed Apps" list).
Now, it's not wrong that many programs have leftovers after uninstalling, but it's mostly settings files, in case you'd install it again later.
Some programs doew leave a lot of cache files though, so programs like Revo Uninstaller can still be helpful. But understand what they do.
very nise 👍
The better way to deal with all those invasive programs is do not install them from the begining. Much better is scrapping windows for linux.
This is a very big problem with Windows. Microsoft should fix this…
Like the Android OS, every apps should have their own data folder in which they save all the important data and files. When you uninstall an app, the OS will remove the data folder.
The problem with Windows, IS Microsoft! They can't make an anti virus/ Anti Malware program. What makes anyone think they can make a decent operating system without backdoors for hacking?
@@theshih-tzudad4068 Cant make an antivirus? What is Windows Defender?
@@theshih-tzudad4068 All OS has "backdoors" and have been hacked (linux Unix macos windows etc). There is no such thing as an unbreakable OS.
Microsoft fixed this. It's called "Singularity." But it's a new OS, incompatible with Windows, so it's just research. The installer for the program is responsible for uninstalling it, not Windows. So the individual developers have to write the code to delete the stuff you don't want.
I'm using Iobit uninstall pro. I think it does the same job as revo.
Yes, Iobit is good too...
You cannot really say "Big Mistake". If the software developer does not do a good job with the uninstall program.
what if it's already uninstalled. How do you find the remnants when it's no longer listed - even with a good uninstaller program.
There's a program called CCleaner that works pretty good.
PC means personal computer and clearly any computer that runs windows 11 is not a personal computer because most of your data is on windows server and your windows 11 pc is full of bloatware. Trying to uninstall windows 11 and after update all of those bloatware comes back again so if you are not using software from Adobe than switch to Linux and makes you computer personal computer again.
Linux is complicated and difficult I don't think it's a better option since no third party apps support penguin 🐧Linux is
@@XCrazyTech steam, VLC and many more third party is supported on linux. Linux is not windows so you have to learn. Switch to Linux or give your computer hardware , your privacy to Microsoft.
I agree with you, but switching to Linux is not easy for everyone and there are ways to manage privacy on windows 11
Technically, you can downgrade to windows 7 so it's the same as making your pc "personal compu" right?
@@sillycado What about security of your system. Anyway windows 7 will not support any updated version of software. For me security and privacy is important that's why I said to use Linux and no version of windows now days offer both SECURITY AND PRIVACY.
whats the difference between uninstall and remove?
"Uninstall" removes the program. He's complaining it doesn't also remove all the data you created by using the program.
Please stop spreading wrong info. Revo uninstaller might be good. But it's a complete waste of time. First time you uninstalled only mcafee but not the webadviser. So there you have the folder of mcafee and the mcafee listed in registry editor is also related to webadviser. In the second time you uninstalled the webadviser from revo. 😑
The only thing we need to do in traditional way is to delete files from appdata and temp folders
You might have different thoughts, you can see while uninstalling from revo it uninstall almost all the remaining files from drive and registry....so better than normal Uninstall
Wiiiiiiiiiindoews? WINDOWS? W!nDOWs?....... Hmmmmmmmmmmm.................. Nah. I use LINUX!
I did select all and delete and get blue screen
Becarefull what you delete
Very useful bro but pls help me when i installed an emulator gameloop and deleted it my games are lagging too much
You mean your normal pc games
I downloaded the Revo uninstaller to uninstall MS edge about a year ago and it worked perfectly. Then after about a month I noticed MS reinstalled edge back on my PC, without my permission. So I went into Revo again to uninstall it, selected all files and registry files and tried to uninstall it again and Revo would no longer work to uninstall edge. I tried it several times and no luck. So, if it no longer worked then there's no sense in having Revo on my PC, so I uninstalled it. Not sure if MS made edge uninstallable or Revo stopped working. I gave up trying. I never use edge and don't plan on ever using it. Still can't remove it from my PC. Anyone got any suggestions?
Watch my latest videos, I made a video on this.
I would just uninstall windows at that point. It's not your PC anymore. It's Microsofts....
I heard Microsoft now allows Windows 11 users to uninstall Edge.
@@powerdude_dk Not my home version, just went to see and all it allows me to do is repair the installation. Still can't remove it.
@@ronaldkemp3952 Hmm... might just be Win 11 Pro then. But make sure you have the new windows update that enables it. You should be able to find the name of the update (KB number).

I use BC Uninstaller
plz help me in detail video #softwarelegit
I use iobit uninstaller is good
For me Glary Utilities is better
They’ll just reappear during the next update. Futile.
@CrownGEEK
Still leaves Registry Keys behind.
barely. not enough to cause any problems
use a Registry "cleaner" (Wise Disk Cleaner, is one).
bro can you help me that how can i remove atlos os plz plz
Its about cmos i think, read manual for pc.
@@peggenlejoncar9529 thanks bro
How about Iobit ?
Gud too
i finally got rid of that mf bluestacks
you didn’t uninstall McAfee Web advisor from the control panel. Of course they’ll be a folder on program files come on, bro.
# F R E E P A L E S T I N E
Brother, yes I didn't. But there were other mcafee folders as well.
You better try yourself and see whether I am right or wrong.
@@CrownGEEK No you’re absolutely right. Revo removes things that regular installers don’t. I was just referring to the program files folder. even if you don’t use revo UnInstaller, the standard uninstall will at least get rid of the program files content haha
In every few months I reset Windows. Windows OS is a bird that pisses his own nest.
I have Windows installs that are almost 10 years old. If I needed to do stats I'd say only about 20% needed a reinstall in that timeframe. You are doing something really wrong.
I is amazing one bro
How to uninstall the revo uninstaller
😂😂😂😂
@@sadythegreat626 Update - actually I did ✌️
It is a DESKTOP not DEKSTOP!!!
Use iobit uninstaller
Yes, that's also good
10bit is great
I installed Linux over Windows, problem fixed.
Packages on Linux are better at cleaning up after themselves, but not perfect. The package management system is simply more comprehensive (complete), and you don't tend to use 3rd party installers... Although on second thought, they began to creep into the Linux space as well in the form of Docker, flatpack, snap, etc
McAfee 😂
Bro thinks he did something lmao. You know nothing about handling these things
Bro sounds like a scammer.
What on earth did you tell? I did not understand. Bad english, sorry.
Sorry you have to learn more then..cuz i've seen alot of people worse.but he is far more good and has his decent own accent.
I understood nearly everything. He's far from the worst. also it's really hard for east asians to speak English
