Remove Unwanted Programs Completely with Advanced Uninstaller

Posted on April 21, 2010 at 5:37 am

There are a lot of reasons why you want to delete a program. Whatever is your reason, it would be great if you can get rid of any trace of a program down to your Windows registry.

The good thing about Advanced Uninstaller is that it works just like that. What’s more, it can remove programs by batches, create restoration points just in case you want them back, and can remove programs and components that are not found in Window’s Add/Remove Programs option.

To start using the application, go to http://www.iobit.com/advanceduninstaller.html and click Download Now – Free.

A dialog box will open asking you to save the .exe file into your computer. Press Save File.

You have successfully downloaded the file when you will receive this kind of message from your Downloads box.

Another dialog box will open, asking your permission to run the software. Click Run.

It will automatically open the Advanced Uninstaller program.

The menus at the top are divided into four sections. You have the conventional uninstall process labeled simply as Uninstall. Forced Uninstall allows you to personally handpick the files you want to delete through their location path. Manage allows you to determine the restoration point and keeps the logs, while Clean PC cleans your Windows registry.

To start deleting files or programs the fastest way, click on the Uninstall icon and choose whether you want a Standard or Advanced uninstall process. You should select Standard if you simply want to remove programs from the Add/Remove Programs list.

Check Advanced when you want to eliminate the leftovers from the registry and other parts of your system. Since you want a more comprehensive cleanup, choose the latter.

You can then start choosing the files or programs you want to delete by ticking on the box next to their program names. If the program is not listed, use the Search software function located at the top.

After selecting the programs, press the Uninstall button.

This will automatically begin the uninstallation process. Since the software will attempt to clear out all the components of the deleted programs, it may take a while before the entire procedure will be completed.

While the scan continues, you will be prompted with a dialog box asking you if you would like to delete the programs and all their components. Click Yes to start the process.
