Revo Uninstaller
Free Windows uninstaller that scans for leftover files and registry entries
Uninstaller for Windows: 6 programs compared
A Windows uninstaller does two jobs. It starts the program's own removal routine, then looks for what that routine left behind: files, folders and registry entries. The catalog lists 6 uninstallers, and all of them are free. None reaches tier A in our catalog, so the differences below come from what each developer describes, not from a ranking.

Three things separate them. The first is leftover scanning: Revo Uninstaller and Wise Program Uninstaller both describe a scan after the standard removal. The second is bulk removal, which is the main idea behind BCUninstaller. The third is reach. IObit Uninstaller and HiBit Uninstaller both cover browser add-ons, and several of the group also handle Windows apps. Download size matters less. Among the sizes listed, it runs from 4.3 MB for HiBit Uninstaller to 11.3 MB for Revo Uninstaller.
