Complete Removal of Programs?

[bigtyme07]

Anyone know how to completely remove a program? I know there is an uninstall program function built into windows but a lot of programs leave parts of themselves behind... and also I have a program that's not showing up on that list so it looks like I'm going to have to manually remove it... Any safe way of moving traces of a program from the registry as well?

Give REVO Uninstaller a shot. The trial version is full featured and cleans out crapware etc.. perfectly.

That's exactly what I'm looking for but I have a program that isn't showing up on the programs list... any idea how to uninstall that?

Which OS are you running, and what program do you need to uninstall?

I downloaded Metro 2033 and for some reason it's not in the programs list... Windows 7

I've noticed Revo seems to have a hard time finding programs that aren't installed in the Programs folder. CCleaner has a decent uninstaller and lists a lot more than Revo. The pay-version of Revo may be better , but I don't know.

The free version of Revo does not find 64bit programs. "Your Uninstaller" would most likely do the trick. I believe you can download a trial version for this one specific need.

it doesn't show up on any programs list...

your unin-staller has hunter mode that enables several different ways to uninstall. it can uninstall from selecting a programs desktop icon.
