I have been looking for something like Revo Uninstaller for years. If you’ve ever used “Add or Remove Programs” on Windows, you know that it’s slow, uninformative, and sometimes not very good at its sole function: uninstalling things. Revo Uninstaller aims to correct those design flaws by being conversely fast, helpful and very effective at uninstalling just about anything you can throw at it.
The interface centers around the main uninstaller which is very easy to use. You can view your installed programs as either large icons or in a detailed list view. I prefer the list view because it lets you sort by name, size, installation date or company. Revo Uninstaller also displays the version number and the product’s website, if applicable.
When you find something you want to uninstall, simply click it and click the big, friendly ‘uninstall’ button. If you aren’t sure about the program or have had trouble uninstalling it in the past, Revo Uninstaller has several other options. Right-clicking any item give you the chance to:
- “Force Uninstall” it (probably overriding anything blocking the uninstaller from functioning)
- Remove it from the program list
- Search for it on Google
- Be taken to its location on your hard drive
- Open the program’s registry key
