Revo Uninstaller

free version doesn't list 64bit applications, hence totally helpless to remove them, while native windows uninstaller will do that.

only paid version revo uninstaller pro does and also another paid program called your uninstaller.

 

Revo uninstaller

Great little tutorial. I’d like to add that Revo now has the ability to delete Microsoft apps - under its own tab.

 

Revo uninstaller

In step 1, Revo just uses the built-in Windows uninstaller that comes either with the program, or created by Windows. At this point, it's just the same as using Control Panel > Programs & Features > selecting the program > Uninstall.

However, Revo then takes that extra step to find the left over files and/or folders, and registry entries, that are left behind. In a lot of instances, these leftovers are deliberate attempts by the software distributor to leave traces and/or trackers on your device. This is either by laziness in program design, or more sinister/devious intent. Cue : Norton anti-virus software as an example (altho they're not the only ones).

Note a trick in using Revo is NOT to restart when prompted after the first level of uninstallation. Run the cleanup before any restart, even if prompted.

An option to RevUninstaller is GeekUninstaller (also freeware version) which provides the same.

EDIT : A classic example of this is using Revo to uninstall Windows bloatware and adware that comes as default with a Windows installation. Step 1, Revo just uses the same Powershell command line Get-AppxPackage etc as could be used manually in Powershell e.g.
Get-AppxPackage *3dbuilder* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage *windowsalarms* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage *windowscalculator* | Remove-AppxPackage
etc

Running this in Powershell just removes the app, and the icon from the Start menu.

However, Revo then takes the next step to remove all the registry entries, leaving a "cleaner" system.
