Hello, dear visitors of the blog. In this post I decided to tell you how to uninstall the program. We will talk about an unusual way to remove programs. We'll talk about removing programs manually.

This method can be useful to you if, you are trying to uninstall the program in a standard way (using the "uninstall program wizard"), and the program is not deleted. This happens, in these cases also, this method can help. Let's start.

Before you start deleting the program manually, I advise you still try to remove the program by the standard method. Already tried? Then, we begin to delete manually.

Preparing to uninstall the program

First, you need to find out where the program is installed on your disk. To do this, you need to find a shortcut to the program. The shortcut that launches the program. It can be: on the desktop, in the quick launch menu or in the "all programs" panel in the "start" menu. In general, you need to find this shortcut.

After you find the shortcut. You need to click on it with the right mouse button and select the "Properties" item.

After the shortcut properties appear, select the tab label. Usually this tab is opened first (by default). Now, look at the item "object:". In this paragraph the path to the installed program is specified, this is what we need. Hover your mouse over the path graph and click the left mouse button. Now, your cursor is in the path graph. Press "ctrl + a" to highlight, and "ctrl + c" to copy the path.

An easier way is to click the "File Location" button. That is, after you click "Properties", click: "File Location". The only drawback is that the program folder does not always open, some programs open a shared folder: "Program Files".

Now you have a way. Open any folder on your computer. At the very top you see the path line, the screenshot shows.

In this line, put the arrow and click the left mouse button. The path turned blue, press the "ctrl + v" key combination to insert your own, copied, path. Note! Usually, the path copied by us ends with a file with the extension "exe", so you need to remove this part from the path. The screenshot shows what to delete (usually the name of the program and the extension "EXE." Example: "Skype.exe").

Also, make sure that at the beginning of the path and at the end there are no quotes, if there are, they also need to be removed. The screenshot shows the way it should look. After you have corrected the path, press the "Enter" key.

Explorer sent you to the folder with the program you need. Now, you need to do the following:

In the path line, you see the name different folders. Click on the one that goes before the folder with your program.

I understand, it sounds incomprehensible, but in reality everything is simple. In the screenshot I showed what should happen. The bottom line is that you need to see the folder with the desired program closed, that is, not in it, but to see it closed. The screenshot shows.

Delete the program.

We all found a folder with our program now we can delete it. In order to delete it, you must select it once by clicking the left mouse button on the folder with the program. After that, press "Shift + Delete". This action deletes the folder with all the program files, that is, the program.

That's all, the program is deleted. But keep in mind, you deleted the program, but it remained registered in the registry. You need to clean the registry. How to clean the registry, you will find in this note:

On this I will finish this note. If you do not understand something, you can watch the video below. There I showed the process of uninstalling the program manually.

Video: How to remove a program that is not deleted. Manual removal

Most users are familiar with how to properly remove unnecessary program, using its uninstaller or using the standard MS Windows utility "Programs and components".

But in some cases it's not easy to achieve the goal - the application either is not deleted or deleted, but not completely, leaving traces of its presence on the computer. We will talk about the solution of this issue in our article.

Installing and uninstalling programs

Most applications, in addition to the installer, i.e. ancillary program, with the help of which the main software is installed, have an uninstaller, that is, by analogy with the previous definition, an auxiliary utility with the help of which, if necessary, the main program can be deleted.

Some programs do not have an uninstaller and they must be deleted with the help of other tools and programs.

Why can not you just delete a file from the Program Files directory?

The thing is that besides installing in this directory, individual software components (libraries, configuration files, shortcuts, etc.) are located in other operating system directories, and also form one or more entries in the system registry.

The task of the uninstaller is to delete all files created by the program, incl. and registry entries, and bring the operating system to a state that was before installation.

What should I do if I can not uninstall the program?

There are times when the application can not be deleted - an error window appears on the screen and the uninstallation process is interrupted.

The first thing that needs to be done if you can not remove software with standard tools, it will make sure that this program, is closed and does not work. Most errors occur precisely for this reason, and not because of a program error.

If you are sure that you closed the application, it will not be superfluous to look into the system tray in which it can be in standby mode.

Note!   Sometimes, even after closing, the background processes and services that provide work still remain. In this case, you must restart the computer and start uninstalling the program immediately after logging in.

Therefore, before performing a reboot, go to the "Startup" menu (or in the settings of the program itself) and take an interest in finding the program to be deleted in its list.

If all of the above methods failed to solve the task, then we recommend downloading a special software, with which you can remove any application.

Revo Uninstaller

Revo Uninstaller has a paid (Pro) and free (Free) use cases.

The price of the license is different (the minimum price is $ 39) and depends on many factors, detailed information on this issue can be found in the relevant section of the official website.

To get acquainted with the full functionality of the developer offers download trial (for 30 days) version of Revo Uninstaller Pro.

The program is compatible with all latest versions OS MS Windows, incl. Windows 8.1, multilingual (supports the Russian language), and also has full compatibility with 64-bit systems.

The utility creates a list of all installed programs and provides them as a list to the user immediately after launch.

An interesting feature is "Hunter mode" (to enable this function, use the "View" menu). This mode is necessary in case you do not know the name of the program you want to delete.

After switching to this menu, the image of the sight appears on the screen, aiming at the elements (windows, icons, shortcuts) of the program, you can learn its name, delete it from the "Startup" menu or completely uninstall.

Supports 3 methods of uninstallation: fast, standard and forced. Regardless of the selected item, before uninstalling, Revo Uninstaller will create a backup restore point, incl. and for the system registry.

To work with backups   is the reservation manager.

The following function, which I would like to draw attention to, is the ability to install programs under the control of Revo Uninstaller so-called. Tracking mode. This approach ensures that when uninstalling the program all its components will be deleted.

In order to enable this function, you must right-click on the program's installer and in the context menu   select "Install with Revo Uninstaller".

In addition to the possibility of uninstalling programs, the utility has a number of useful functions: the manager of start-up, the cleaning of system debris, the ability to completely delete data without the possibility of their recovery.

In general, the application has many positive qualities (several modes of uninstallation, additional utilities, scanning mode file system   and the registry) and, perhaps, one significant drawback in the form of limiting the useful functionality for the free version.

IObit Uninstaller

Unlike most of its competitors, the utility IObit Uninstaller is completely free and does not require installation, which allows you to store and run it directly from a flash drive.

The program supports the Russian language and the ability to work with all modern versions of MS Windows, including. and Windows 10.

The utility supports 2 modes of uninstalling applications - standard and advanced. If you select Advanced Uninstall, the program searches for items that remain after the program is uninstalled (files, registry keys).

Because the utility is portable, there is no monitoring function for the installation.

IObit Uninstaller supports the batch uninstall function, it is necessary to note this the right programs   checkbox.

Before each deletion, the program makes a backup recovery point, managed through the center restore Windows. Every fact of uninstallation is recorded in the log.

The program perfectly copes with the tasks assigned to it, but nevertheless to lacks it is necessary to carry absence of support of monitoring of installation.

Uninstall Tool

Uninstall Tool   is a small utility, which, nevertheless, has quite a good functionality: uninstall programs that can not be removed by built-in Windows tools, deletion of entries from the system registry, menu manager "Startup", support for monitoring the installation.

To clean up the traces of using certain programs, the "Delete Wizard" is used.

However, this function is available only in the paid version of the program, and in the free version the user can only view the remaining traces of the program use that were not deleted during uninstallation.

The price of the license depends on its type and is $ 25 for a personal license and $ 40 for a portable license that can be installed on several computers.

Summing up, we say that the program is functional enough and convenient, but, unfortunately, most of the useful functions of the program are not available in its free version.

However, by installing the free version, the user gets the option to remove hidden components and monitor mode.
