Revo Uninstaller

Revo Uninstaller removes unwanted programs by running each program’s built-in uninstaller and then locating the files, folders, and Windows Registry entries left behind. Its Uninstaller module is useful when software refuses to uninstall normally or when you want to verify that an apparently removed program has left no traces. Windows Apps are handled in a separate list, covering both apps included with Windows and those installed later.

Hunter Mode hides the main window and places a targeting icon in the upper-right area of the screen; dragging it onto a program window, desktop shortcut, or System Tray icon opens management options. This can identify an unfamiliar program that is absent from the main list and let you uninstall it or disable its automatic Windows startup. The feature suits people maintaining shared PCs, cleaning up old software, or investigating programs that launch without an obvious entry.

Eight additional tools cover Windows startup control, unnecessary-file removal, access to useful Windows tools, browser-history cleaning, Microsoft Office history cleaning, Windows junk removal, permanent erasure of confidential data, and unrecoverable deletion of files and folders. These modules are named Autorun Manager, Junk Files Cleaner, Windows Tools, Browsers Cleaner, MS Office Cleaner, Windows Cleaner, Evidence Remover, and Unrecoverable Delete.
