INTRODUCTION
If you are a windows user you must be having a lot of installed software and games.
Have you ever felt that when you uninstall the software , it still leaves its traces behind such as a few temporary files, windows registry, some settings and more.
Slowly this all creates the clutter which eats us your space as well as slows down the system. Some of us try deleting the folders directly but still for no use. The program lists in the program menu, have left some running services which always loads up your system while switching on the pc or laptop.
Moreover, if there is not a clean uninstallation of any important software, the new software sometimes create problems while installation.
Windows users must have felt that when we have just installed a fresh copy of windows, it flies but then we load it up with a variety of softwares. We install , we don’t like any software , we uninstall and the cycle goes on. Slowly the windows become slower.
The reason is the same as we discussed earlier. All the leftovers as well as mismanagement of the space and other reasons cause this problem.
Thanks to the smart utility software like REVO UNINSTALLER which offers us a number of features for keeping our system clean and use our precious time in productive activities rather than just spending time to maintain our pc or laptop.
In this article we are discussing only about the REVO UNINSTALLER which is one of the best in the field.
We’ll discuss need, downloading, installing, using and much more about REVO UNINSTALLER software.
Let us start!!!
WHY DO WE NEED REVO UNINSTALLER ?
We know that the we can easily uninstall the applications from the windows by the standard uninstaller.
The standard uninstaller is given in the PROGRAM BUNDLE itself or we can go to the control panel and choose REMOVE OR UNINSTALL APPLICATIONS, simply select the application and follow the steps to uninstall.
We feel that uninstallation removes all the components of the software but it is not so.
For a complete uninstallation and removal of all the left files, windows registry, setting and other temporary files, we need smart utility applications like REVO UNINSTALL which will not only use the standard uninstaller for uninstallation but remove all the left over files , clean your registry, remove temporary files

HOW TO UNINSTALL APPLICATION USING REVO UNINSTALLER
Let us start the process of uninstallation of a sample software.
We have chosen a sample software CDisplayEx , which we will be uninstalling using the REVO UNINSTALLER.

Click the application. We chose our application.
On the left side pane, the different options will appear such as UNINSTALL, FORCED UNINSTALL , MORE COMMANDS and so on.
Click UNINSTALL.
After we click the uninstall, the uninstallation process will start asking us for confirmation at first.
Click YES.
Choose the additional function to MAKE A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT BEFORE UNINSTALL if you want to create a system restore point which gives us the option of reverting the uninstallation back and bringing back the system to earlier state and create a full registry backup for being safe in case of any mishap.
Click CONTINUE.
The process will start and following dialog box will be shown.
After creating a system restore point and full registry backup, it’ll start the standard uninstaller and would again ask if you want to uninstall.
click YES.
After the uninstallation is finished through the program uninstaller, it’ll display the message of completion.
click OK.
After the uninstallation is complete, it’s the time for checking for the leftovers.
Choose a method for scanning and click SCAN. We went for moderate. [ SAFE is the fastest and shallow scanning whereas ADVANCED is the slowest and deep scanning. MODERATE is in between ]
After the scan, REVO UNINSTALLER will find the leftover files or entries at different locations.
For our case, it found some entries in the registry items.
Clean them up by clicking SELECT ALL and then DELETE.
CLICK NEXT.
All the leftover registry entries will be deleted.
If there are more leftovers, they will be shown in the similar screens and we can select them and delete.
WE DON’T NEED ANY LEFTOVERS AS WE HAVE ALREADY UNINSTALLED THE APPLICATION.
By this step, we complete our uninstallation without keeping any pending removal of the data from our uninstalled application.
We’ll update the use of other tools included soon.
