I had uninstalled its old version and I then tried to install the new version. I believe it was a media player called Winamp. My obsession to create the best uninstaller started many years ago when I was attempting to update a program.
How did the obsession to create the best uninstaller start? The App & Features tool also doesn’t solve the issue of being unable to uninstall stubborn programs.įor example, when trying to uninstall something with it, you could simply get an error message from Windows saying that something failed and it was not possible to uninstall the app. We actually did a benchmark test to show that large amounts of leftover data does slow your computer down. When these leftover files pile up over time, they can potentially cause your system to slow down. We will get to the nitty gritty details a bit later, but to put it simply: the uninstallation process isn’t thorough and there will be leftover data.
Why to use a third-party uninstaller when you can use the App & Features tool in Windows? While this sounds trivial, it’s actually very difficult. It is a process where the uninstaller removes all of the files and registry entries that were created when you installed an app or a game.įor example, when you uninstall Chrome using a software uninstaller program, it essentially attempts to detect and delete all of the files and registry entries that were created by Chrome when it was installed. What is an uninstaller?Ī software uninstaller, also known as an uninstaller program, uninstaller software, uninstaller tool, or uninstall utility is a program designed to perform app uninstallations. To answer this question, let’s take one step back. It probably started in the early 2000’s when I was working on the freeware app called RegCleaner which later evolved into jv16 PowerTools.īut why software uninstaller, specifically? It’s fair to say I have been obsessed with many things in Windows maintenance, but making the best software uninstaller for Windows has to be one of the biggest obsessions that I have. That is exactly the purpose of this post: I want to show you what happens behind the scenes. When you read a sentence like that, you don’t really know what that actually means. We have been very busy here at Macecraft Software developing the brand new jv16 PowerTools version 8.
