After uninstalling any program these are the steps I take to completely remove software without having to use a 3rd party utility. While it does take more time, I would rather do it myself without using 3rd party tools that can sometimes be unreliable or do more harm than good... Thanks for watching :)

try revo uninstaller - free and cleans the registry + left over files

Or just get revo uninstaller and it's very reliable

I love watching Revo uninstalling all those leftover junk program and registry files! If I ever replace this old laptop, I'll get the Pro version for sure!

Bulk crap uninstaller is better

A lot fewer steps involved too!

BCUninstaller works great as well. Didnt really notice any difference between BCU (free) and a paid version of Revo Uninstaller. Both work great though

Rev Uninstaller is one step and more complete.

Exactly what I wanted. Thanks. I moved away from Firefox a couple months ago. I noticed remnants still in the registry. I thought it was ok to delete and you have given confidence plus a couple other areas for me to look.

This is one of the most helpful I've seen in a long time!!!!! Thanks Brett!!!!!

It seems most people know abour Revo Unistaller, so it would be interesting to know if any remnants are left after using it.

Yet another excellent "How To" computer video from BIT! Thanks Brett! 👍👍

@ballybunion9 Ай бұрын

The problem remains it's hard to tell what software we can safely remove just by the software's name. Bloatware that has a serious or important sounding name makes us think, "I'd better leave that alone in case removing screws up my computer."

Thanks for the video, it was very helpful, but now I need to find an Office key.

How about glary uyilities ? It works really well for uninstalling anything completely, besides freaking edge...

A whole lot easier just to use the free version of Revo Uninstaller which does your backup and identifies and allows you to delete left over registry entries and files.

In 4:47 you also deleted 1.55GB of thumbnails. Did you want to do that?

@BrettInTech Ай бұрын

Yes

@BeckyAnn6879 Ай бұрын

I would guess those are just thumbnail previews of any picture files, and not actual YT thumbnail files.

@romanb.6905 Ай бұрын

What about services installed by the software? Aren't they in other location in the registry? ....services.... or ...autorun....?

@GizmoFromPizmo Ай бұрын

Shouldn't you run the program's uninstaller first? Did I miss the part where you went into Control Panel - Add/Remove (or whatever they're calling it these days) and running the uninstaller?

@50PullUps Ай бұрын

The comprehensiveness of the uninstaller depends on how much effort the vendor wants to put into writing one.

@lint2023 Ай бұрын

Yes, uninstall first. This process given will find and clear out remnants after the uninstall.

Better solution is to not install apps from dubious sources.

This is the problem I am experiencing with some of my ".ico picture." I create folders for my personal use. I do not want the newly created folders to look like the usual windows folders, so I go online and find various pictures to be the face or cover for the folders I create. The original pictures might be in the jpeg or png format. I convert the pictures to the ".ico" format. After I converted the jpeg or png pictures to .ico format, I right click on the folder, I select "properties", I then click on "customize", then I click on "change Icon", I then select "browse", I then go to where I saved the converted pictures to ".ico picture", I select the picture and the picture is now on the folder I created for my personal use. The picture covers the entire folder like it should. After a day, week, or sometimes a month, for some unknown reason to me, the picture on the folder will shrink and no longer covers the entire folder. Do you have some fixes or suggestions that will resolve this problem I am having with the picture shrinkage? I use windows 10 Thank you.
