Revo Uninstaller

If you're not using Revo Uninstaller to remove programs, you might want to consider it. Using the program's own uninstall feature will remove access to the program, but it could leave dozens of files behind. I just removed some programs that sneaked onto my computer and other programs that I no longer use. In all cases, after the initial uninstall, Revo scanned and found many more files hiding somewhere. Be sure to begin the uninstallation with Revo. If you simply use the program's uninstall, Revo can no longer help you.

You can pay for it, or you can get it for free. - https://www.revouninstaller.com/products/revo-uninstaller-free/

It looks like the paid version can get rid of junk left over after an uninstall. $12.47 annually. https://www.revouninstaller.com/frpromo/

EDITED: I downloaded the Pro version to see what it could do. Unfortunately, doing anything with it requires payment for a year. I found it very difficult to uninstall this Pro version. Kind of ironic. Unless you really want it, think twice about downloading it.

I've been using Wise Uninstaller for years. Totally satisfied, it removes all files associated with the app, and it's free

I've been using Revo Uninstaller for a lot of years, more than twenty. It works much better than the uninstaller that comes with the program. I have the free one

I've been using Revo Uninstaller Pro for quite a long time and find it very useful.

I have been using the Pro version several years. I also have CCleaner and iolo's System Mechanic Ultimate Defense and Malwarebytes. I have all but one on manual only. No matter how I uninstall or which of the two system apps I use first when I run the other one it finds things the other missed. And periodically I run Microsoft Window's built in apps.
There seems to be no such thing as a perfect uninstaller or system cleaning/maintenance program. A friend who is a professor of computer science in the UC system speculated that a "perfect" uninstaller/maintenance program would probably be larger than 99.9% of computers have room for on the disk.
