People who frequently try new programs may want to remove them and then clear the traces their uninstallers leave behind. Revo Uninstaller runs a program’s own uninstaller, then scans for related leftover files, folders, and registry entries that can be reviewed for removal.
How does Revo find leftovers after an uninstall?
The regular uninstall runs first. Revo then searches for items associated with the removed program and presents the results so you can choose which leftovers to delete.
The scan offers Safe, Moderate, and Advanced modes. Safe is the least extensive; the other modes search more broadly. The results list related registry entries, files and folders, and you choose which of them to delete.
What is Hunter Mode for?
Hunter Mode gives you a direct way to work with a program that is open or visible on the desktop. Select its target icon or window to bring up actions for the identified program, including uninstalling it.
What should you expect from the free edition?
The core workflow is centered on uninstalling programs and scanning for remnants afterward. Revo Uninstaller Pro adds features such as tracking changes made during software installation and keeping uninstall logs.
