Uninstalling applications using Windows's default program removal tool isn't difficult, but Revo Uninstaller Pro, which costs $39.25 for a single license, offers a more efficient way to delete unwanted software from your PC. Like the free version of the program, Revo Uninstaller Pro lets you thoroughly uninstall programs, permanently delete files tossed into the Recycle Bin, and eliminate junk files. The uninstaller also boasts Windows 10 compatibility, real-time software monitoring, full 64-bit app support, and other features. Some of those features are found in Ashampoo Uninstaller 6, the Editors' Choice for paid uninstall utilities, but that doesn't mean you should overlook Revo Uninstaller Pro. It's quite good.
Revo Uninstaller Pro also has an uninstall option not available in the free version of Revo: Quick Uninstall. The standard uninstall feature lets you queue up multiple programs to uninstall in a row (something you can't do using Windows' default uninstaller), but you must manually confirm the removal of each application's leftover components after you uninstall software. Quick Uninstall, on the other hand, eliminates those extra steps by monitoring software in real time and automatically deleting the leftovers.
More options are accessible from the context menu.
For example, it is possible to look up a program's name or developer on
Google, open links ("About," "Help," "Update"), view its location in
Explorer, open corresponding registry keys, insert a comment, change the
icon, as well as add the respective app to a group ("Internet,"
"Games," "Multimedia," or user-defined).
Uninstalling a program is done in
several steps, and it is possible to create a queue of multiple tools to
remove immediately. Firstly, the utility creates a full registry backup
in addition to a system restore point, thus enabling users to restore
settings within working parameters if Windows starts experiencing issues
afterward.
Secondly, Revo runs the program's built-in
uninstaller, after which it presents three scanning modes for the
leftover files, directories and registry entries: safe, moderate, and
advanced (depending on the scrutiny level).
Scan results show all identified
traces neatly preserved with their original folder structure. One or
multiple items can be selected for quick deletion or, alternatively,
excluded from all future scans. It is also possible to view a key's
position in Registry Editor and file's location in Windows Explorer,
together with file content and properties, as well as to generate an
HTML report with the selected items.
Through the forced uninstallation
module, programs can be eliminated by pointing out any file that belongs
to them, or by writing their exact name. The rest of the process is
carried out just as in the previously described steps, provided that the
app's default uninstaller is identified.
Quick uninstall operations can be
performed on one or multiple applications. Unlike the normal method,
this one automatically eliminates all leftovers without prompting the
user, but shows total deleted entries.
Installing new programs adds them to a monitoring schedule
which tracks their impact on the system to find out the exact files and
registry keys that are created. Once the setup is done, it is required
to run the app, make the necessary configuration and close it, after
which Revo's tracker can be closed from the upper part of the screen.
Logs are saved to files, accessible
through the "Traced Programs" tab. Registered activity includes the
author, creation time, last modification date, estimated size, registry
keys and values, folders and files. The list of files, folders and
registry items can be exported to HTML format, files and directories can
be renamed or deleted, while keys can be excluded from leftover scans.
A special database contains a list of logs
of traced programs that are compatible with the current Windows system.
These are created and maintained online by Revo's developers, providing
users with fast access to removing programs with one click.
The logs database and traced programs areas permit custom uninstall, a feature that can restore system changes to default parameters, prior to the installation of a monitored tool.
Hunter mode
displays a small box on the screen that can be dropped onto any window,
icon or taskbar item to uninstall the corresponding application, to
kill its process (with or without deleting it), open the containing
folder, and so on.
Other tools of Revo Uninstaller Pro
include a manager for entries which automatically run at system
startup, evidence cleaner (wipes free space and focuses only on deleted
data to make it unrecoverable), as well as cleaners for junk files (with
preset and user-defined file formats), web browsers (Internet Explorer,
Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera) and Windows (registry and hard
disk traces).
