Best for removing Windows programs and their leftovers
Revo Uninstaller removes a program and then scans for the files and registry entries it left behind. A free edition exists, but its page doesn't list what it drops compared with Pro, and Pro updates last only one or two years.
Who Revo Uninstaller is for
- Fits if you want uninstalls to include registry and file leftovers
- Works for technicians who need a portable uninstaller on a USB stick
Who Revo Uninstaller is not for
- Skip it if you are on Mac or Linux, as it is Windows only
- Watch out: Pro updates last 1 or 2 years depending on the option bought, though the licence itself is lifetime
- Watch out: registry cleaning is a separate product, Revo Registry Cleaner
- Pricey if you need 2 or 3 PCs, since prices rise per computer

Keep Revo Uninstaller, or make your own?
Keep it
Nothing Revo Uninstaller does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 5 things listed below take a company.
It costs $24.95, paid once.
What you could not
- Deleting system files without breaking anything.
- A file manager working directly on your disk.
- A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Revo Uninstaller’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Revo Uninstaller?
Revo Uninstaller removes Windows programs and then scans for files and registry entries the standard uninstaller left behind. It also handles Windows Store apps and browser extensions, and keeps backups so a removal can be undone. A free edition and a paid Pro edition are sold, plus portable versions.
Worth knowing
- Windows only on the desktop; the vendor's Android products are separate.
- Pro's license to use is lifetime, but updates last 1 or 2 years depending on the option bought.
- Registry cleaning is sold separately as Revo Registry Cleaner, with its own free and Pro editions.
- The vendor offers a 60-day money-back guarantee.
Key features

- Quick and batch uninstall
- Uninstalls several programs in one pass.
- Windows apps and browser extensions
- Handles Windows Store apps and browser extensions as well as desktop programs.
- Real-time monitoring and logs database
- Watches system changes during an install and draws on a collection of trace logs for many programs.
- Backups and Hunter Mode
