[@itzluptic9973]

here for the same reason :)

[@somethingdifferent2024]

This REALLY helped me get rid of some annoying programs that were using up a lot of memory. Thanks!

[@harunf7121]

For some reason when I try to uninstall some adobe stuff (forced uninstall) it shows up that the programs are still there?

[@ThriveForBetter]

Talking unclear "System 32 deleted"

[@Beebeebobingee]

What a life saver, no matter how many times I tried to uninstall all the HP printer software, or disable startup processes, they always managed to be there slowing my pc down. Thank you!

[@nathan15861]

I watched this vid on a separate site, but came to KZbin JUST to comment and say thanks. Great job on this clear and concise video.

[@daviddc2935]

This helped me delete mcaffe finally

[@Smithtechres]

Cool.

[@holly_girl2981]

David acb+ when mcaffe is an antivirus

[@nikkid9289]

Mine macfee is uninstall but it still shows the icon of macfee . But it doesnot shown in control pannel .i need to install another antivirus ... what to do i dont know

[@jbguapo1663]

David acb why is McCafe bad

[@vizthex]

But why would you delete that?

[@i2Shea]

3rd option worked great for removing Idle Buddy virus!

[@kolekibler393]

Had a game that didn't have an installer and so I couldn't uninstall it. Had heard of Revo Uninstaller, but that was unfortunately a bad idea, so all hope was lost. Thankfully I stumbled across this video and this program. I am so thankful for this tutorial and the great free program. Would highly recommend to anyone. 10/10

[@Azimii]

Thanks my dude. Downloaded the Destiny trial, and it took up 27 gigs of space, and I couldn't uninstall it unless I bought it. This method worked really well, and I was able to get some other files out as well

[@kaylarae8003]

i cannot thank you enough for this video. I've been trying to get rid of a few things my son had inadvertently installed on his computer for a verrrrry long time. Nothing seemed to work and every tutorial I came across was either laced with it's own bullshit or way too hard for this lay(wo)man to follow. I truly appreciate the time you put into creating this tutorial!

[@shakofan1689]

This video worked like a charm. I feel like I owe you one. Thank you for being so clear and concise. 10/10 IT.

[@KingaMoor]

After trying it and finding out that it worked after rebooting my LP, I just came back to give you this like. Thanks.

[@laaylow]

Thanx bro I was trying to delete this Application for like around 1-3 months thanx bro I liked

[@roojdood]

This was very useful, thank you so much! I'm glad the internet has people like this, willing to help others when they're not sure what to do.

[@studbaker8768]

I can sleep nights now that I know the boogie man can"t come out of my computer and eat me. A very clear tutorial , thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stephenbrincat5562]

Finally after spending hours trying to delete Easy file locker 2.2, thanks for your tutorial I managed to get it of my laptop. Great job Mr Smith :)

[@tomlaub3193]

Dude this helped a lot and got Adware uninstalled, I appreciate it.

[@mano71203]

This helped so much! IObit is a life saver. I installed a program, then Malwarebytes detected it as malware and put an essential file quarantine. The program kept showing up in the start menu though and would not uninstall from add or remove programs. But IObit removed it no problem!

[@Smithtechres]

Excellent! We're glad to hear that.

[@shawn-eo9kg]

I wasn't expecting this to work. I did the third one and ended the task, but I just simply deleted and it worked. Thank you so much!!!!

[@twhitedeath5885]

Perfect, straight forward! Great content.

[@Smithtechres]

Thank you TWhiteDeath.

[@jaysonv2]

All I can say is THANK GOD for GUYS LIKE THIS, IT WORKED FOR ME! I as trying for 4 hours to get rid of IDLE BUDDY and was just about to give up and I came upon this

[@Smithtechres]

Cool. We're glad it worked.

[@peacewalker7915]

Thanks got rid of Cloudnet Virus with this tutorial..... thanks a lot man

[@nafiurpial7209]

I have been benefited from this.

[@zachattack327]

I had a virus called idle buddy. Wouldn’t get off my computer without clicking a link and my virus scanner couldn’t pick it up. Thanks man this really helped me out preventing me from reformatting

[@hadisulman714]

helped me delete norton thanks dude..... that was taking up 40% of my cpu... god bless

[@Smithtechres]

No problem. But hopefully, you replaced that antivirus with another one.

[@xxdookersxx]

Thank you! Norton Family was not trying to uninstall at all before this.

[@UNSTOPYOUTUBE]

Thank you , it really helped me and its the 01/04/18 so its still working :D

[@carlitaduran5870]

Thank you very much after searching for solutions for hours, THIS is the only thing that worked to uninstall a stubborn program!!

[@Smithtechres]

Excellent! We're glad to hear that.

[@pearl3327]

[@lilixasuka8599]

Thank you so much I wanted to cry cuz how scared I was but with such a simple and easy to understand video my problem has been wiped.. thank you so much!!!

[@dr.duckling5151]

Thank you very much sir for this great assistance very help ful and thank you for suggesting the "Force Uninstall" that helped me remove it immediatly

[@Blueglitter73]

This worked! Google Chrome was not working and it's uninstaller wasn't working as well so I done the steps with IOBit uninstaller and it completely uninstalled Chrome! And then I reinstalled Chrome and it's working again! Thank you so much!

[@ericyun6705]

You sir are the definition of helpful. Thank you soooo much

[@sharonbrown4822]

Great advice, thank you! Second option worked for me - first finding the program in Task Manager and closing it there; after that the uninstall function worked. Thanks again.

[@defy170]

The background was running, I was scrolling through the task manager and suddenly found the app still running.

[@gameeverything687]

I noticed that with mine, too. I was like, "Oh, duh."

[@kalojankernone4013]

Dude you saved my life thanks.

[@ajfromca]

It actually worked like a champ. I removed a corrupted program and it did not fully uninstall however it did remove the registry keys in the uninstall hive so I was kinda up a creek and your video pointed me to a utility that actually worked.

[@CraftyMaelyss]

2:34 The issue with mine is I'm trying to uninstall *Avira* and Avira cannot be closed with task manager (I've tried several times and it keeps popping back up)

[@KudozIsCool]

Im trying to delete Regrettable and Cliched.. So annoying.

[@minosos7488]

Thanks for the help. Tried to uninstall a program that said "FBX recorder is still running in the background." I got worried that I couldn't get it off my computer, but this really helped. Thanks.

[@VoTkA17]

thank's man..i nearly fucked my laptop up..keep up the good work

[@WheatoPlays]

Thanks so much for this video! IObit Uninstaller finally got rid of a program that wouldn't uninstall any other way.

[@codyschurmans1848]

you really helped me out , thank you very much for that

[@RaduBrujban]

Thank you soo much, you helped me uninstall a broken version of Norton Security where every time i would try to uninstall or install the program, my computer would crash. You really helped out man.

[@Smithtechres]

Cool.

[@drakulian7456]

IObit Uninstaller ironically won't install on my Windows 10 Pro. This does nothing to help me get rid of "Balabolka" (WordTalk).

[@luxton2877]

Honestly a great video, it was clear asf and I was able to uninstall a clingy McAfee that would piss off. Cheers

[@Awkwardandweird]

Says uninstalled but in my start its still there and it is gone from my uninstall tab but the problem with my program(paint.net) it said there is a problem with this windows installer package

[@JustKevinnn]

It didn't work for me the first time. Then i right clicked the app and pressed powerfull uninstall and that worked. ;D

[@jameel491]

[@SephirothsWifey]

You fixed my problem!! thank you thank you thank you!! The uninstall from the actual folder of the program worked. I was trying to uninstall from control panel program list but it didn't work. Your fix is amazing.

[@IsaacCosmic]

Thank you for this clear and easy to understand video. This really helped me out :)

[@Vanes-NL]

Thanks man! I finally uninstalled Avid Pro Tools! Iobit did the trick

[@NarcissistMargarine]

Fucking hell, windows 10 sure took a big shit on it's reputation of usability and easy customization. There are files I'm locked out of in C: *even as an administrator*, drivers/programs that refuse to uninstall, poor compatibility with a vast amount of programs as much as a YEAR AND A HALF LATER, and of course the endless issues with user privacy, etc. Really upsetting. If I had a dollar for every time windows 10 fucked something on my computer up I could almost afford an even shittier mac. A+ Microsoft.

[@NarcissistMargarine]

Oh while I'm here the control point refuses to be created after nearly an hour so that's a bonus.

[@NarcissistMargarine]

Okay wait yeah it seems to have worked if I just choose not to make a restore point. Thank fuck. I love you. Windows 10 still makes me want to staple my balls to a train track though.

[@epivot1562]

OH MY GOD THANKS. This really helped my out sooooooooooooooooooo soooooooooooooooooooo much. I was being an idiot and got this downloaded on my computer. I was really hoping my dad wouldn't find it because he would have been really mad. THANKS AGAIN.

[@epivot1562]

Nevermind the ads to the program still apeared

[@rickbaker4571]

and then you can't uninstall IOBit Uninstaller

[@negrita4christ7]

WOW! Your video really helped me out! I have been trying to get rid of the yontoo program for weeks and all the other videos had way to many in depth steps.. Thank you for posting this..

[@tonyrob86]

Thankyou. Just used this tutorial and Iobit Uninstaller to uninstall Norton Security after Norton would not uninstall. Was so quick too. Version 9 is the latest version by the way.

[@ajat.]

Fuck Adobe Creative Could. Not even this worked!

[@franziskabaumann1839]

this was the only solution that actually worked, thank you sooo much!!!

[@adamnaqiuddin7786]

How to UNINSTALL THING YOU CAN'T UNINSTALL on PC 1. Go to 'Control Panel' 2. Click 'Programs' 3. Click 'Programs and Features' 4. Search files or anything you want to uninstall. I hope this help you guys. I think you guys need to open 'Task Manager' first. Then delete the file.

[@muazshash6093]

this doesnt always work. That's why we came to the video....

[@grey3998]

Adam Naqiuddin did that and guess what it won't uninstall

[@StretchReality]

your a special kind of idiot aren't you?

[@abdulhaq5971]

i really works perfectly without beating around the bush, thanks a lot

[@Smithtechres]

No problem Abdul.

[@gameeverything687]

I was hoping there was a native way to do this, but I'm glad IOBit is free. I used to use Revo Uninstaller and it was just bulky as hell and probably wouldn't even run in safe mode. Great job on the vid. Fast enough pace so we get the information we need at a quicker rate than most of the other KZbin tutorials out there. Hmm, however, all this did was open up the program's uninstaller which is the exact problem. Oh well, I guess Revo it is. Thanks for the help anyway :)

[@djeisonbarros2594]

Thank you a bunch man, I deleted something that I couldn't uninstall on program without iobit uninstaller!
