Clearing out a pile of unwanted programs and tired of removing them one by one? Absolute Uninstaller, a free tool from Glarysoft, removes several apps in a batch, then sweeps up the files and registry entries they leave behind.
How do you find a program to remove?
The main screen lists installed programs with their icons, making entries easier to identify. A search function narrows the list when the program name is known, and recently installed programs are marked for quick identification.
Select an entry to start its uninstall process. Afterward, Absolute Uninstaller checks for leftover files and registry entries associated with the removed program and can clean up those remnants. This follow-up cleanup is intended to address traces that may remain after the program’s own uninstaller finishes.
Can Absolute Uninstaller remove several programs together?
Yes. Batch uninstall lets you select multiple applications for removal in one workflow, which is handy when clearing out several unwanted programs. Each selected program still has its own uninstall process; the batch option groups the task instead of requiring a separate trip back to the program list for every selection.
What can you do with uninstall entries?
Absolute Uninstaller includes controls for uninstall records as well as installed applications. It can automatically fix invalid program entries, remove an entry from the list, or restore a removed entry. These actions affect the uninstall information shown in the tool; removing a record is distinct from uninstalling the application itself.
For additional record management, the program can back up and restore uninstall information and export the installed-program list. An entry’s properties, support information, and command line are also available, providing details about how the program is registered and how its uninstall command is invoked.

Does Absolute Uninstaller remove leftover files?
