Use a better software uninstaller for Windows

[evilfantasy]

Many times a programs built in uninstaller will leave behind unwanted and unneeded files, folders and registry keys. Unlike softwares built in uninstallers third party uninstallers will also scan for leftovers and remove the stuff you do not need once a software program is removed. They can also help you remove programs that have become corrupted and the built in uninstaller will not run.

 

Some advantages of third party uninstallers:

• Force uninstall corrupted software
• Safely clean leftover files and folders
• Safely clean leftover registry entries
• Find details about unknown software
