    Used Revo to uninstall "One Drive" but c: photos still have /onedrive/in file path


    My friend has a new computer. I put her 24,000 photos in a new file on her C: drive and of course they also went to "One Drive" without any permission to do so - geez. I used Revo to get One Drive out, but now the file path to her photos has like /User/OneDrive/Marysphotos. When I created the new file to store her photos there was no /OneDrive/ on the path. Do I have to now move the photos or delete them and try again to get the /OneDrive/ reference out? I'm assuming since I deleted One Drive that the photos are also on the C: drive somewhere.

    :)

    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.

  3. Can I use Revo Uninstaller to remove programs from drive D (it's not a partition of C)

    The "MAIN" screen of Revo Uninstaller (Free is the version I'm using) lists all the programs on my computer...but I checked (by right-clicking the names of them all in the first column) and all the programs listed seem to be installed on C drive.

    I know, by using File Explorer (or whatever it's called now) that my D drive (it's a discreet, second, physical hard drive in my desktop PC) has programs located in a separate Program folder also.

    How can I (or, CAN I) use Revo to uninstall any of THESE programs?

    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.
