Revo Uninstaller Pro

About this release

The standard Windows uninstall runs whatever removal routine the program shipped with, and that routine only removes what the developer remembered to list. What stays behind is registry keys, configuration folders in three different profile locations, service entries, scheduled tasks, shell extensions and driver remnants. Individually harmless, collectively the reason a machine slows down over years and the reason a reinstall sometimes restores settings you were trying to clear.

Revo runs the program's own uninstaller first, then goes looking for the rest. It scans the registry and the file system at a depth you choose, presents what it found in two trees with the risky entries marked in bold, and deletes only what you confirm. A restore point and a full registry backup are taken before anything is removed, so a scan that went too far can be undone completely.

The install monitor is the more interesting half. Start it before you install something and it records every file, folder, registry key and service that appeared during the installation. When you later remove that program, the removal is not a guess based on pattern matching, it is a precise reversal of a recorded list. For anything you are trialling, or anything you suspect of spreading itself around, this is the difference between a clean machine and a slow accumulation.

Around that sits a toolbox worth having: forced uninstall for programs that are already broken or partially removed and no longer appear in the list, batch uninstall for clearing several at once, a startup manager, a junk file cleaner, browser extension management across every installed browser, a history cleaner, an unrecoverable delete, and a hunter mode where you drag a target onto a running window or a tray icon and it identifies and removes whatever that is.

What you get

• Runs the program's own uninstaller then scans for leftover files, folders and registry keys
• Three scan depths with risky entries marked so you can see what should not be touched
• Restore point and full registry backup taken automatically before any removal
• Install monitor recording every change made during an installation for exact later removal
• Forced uninstall for broken or partially removed programs that no longer appear in the list
• Batch uninstall for clearing several programs in one pass
• Hunter mode for identifying and removing a program by dragging onto its window or tray icon
• Startup manager, junk file cleaner, history cleaner and unrecoverable delete
• Browser extension management across every installed browser from one panel
• Logs database of recorded installations that can be exported and reused on another machine

Changes in this build

• Leftover scanner finds more remnants from store packaged applications
• Install monitor no longer slows installers that write tens of thousands of small files
• Forced uninstall handles programs whose registration was already partially deleted
• Browser extension list updated for the current Chromium and Firefox layouts
• Interface scaling corrected on high density displays
