How to Uninstall a Program with Revo Uninstaller Pro

To permanently remove a program from your disk using Revo Uninstaller, you must first open the Revo app, select the program from an available list, and hit the Uninstall button on the upper left corner.

Revo Uninstaller displays an overview Window that shows basic information about any app along with an option to enable or disable the creation of the System Restore Program. On top of that, users can create a full registry backup for any specific uninstallation.

Do not hit the continue button if you fail to create a full registry backup. Instead, uncheck all the corresponding options before moving forward. Otherwise, you cannot restore the erroneously deleted programs.

In the next step, Revo Uninstaller will create the backup of a selected program. It will then launch the program’s built-in uninstaller so that you can remove unwanted software from the disk.

Once the program’s built-in uninstaller completes its job, Revo Uninstaller allows you to scan the leftover by clicking the Scan button. In case your selected program doesn’t have a built-in uninstaller, Revo Uninstaller will issue a warning, but you can still pursue the uninstallation process.

You are allowed to select the desired mode to scan your computer for remnants. You can choose between three modes: Safe, Moderate, and Advanced. Each subsequent step takes more time as it performs a deeper scan.

Once the scanning is completed, you’ll see a list of leftover Register entries followed by a list of file leftovers.

Select the leftover files that slow your computer speed by hitting the Delete button. If you want to select all the items, you can hit the Select All button. That being said, we still encourage you to check all the items beforehand.

It is worth mentioning here that only the bolded entries will be deleted. All the remaining entries will display information, so the users will better understand where the bolded entries are located in the registry.

If there are no leftovers Registry, Revo Uninstaller will automatically display the remnants of files and folders. Review all the items and hit the Select All button to mark leftovers and then hit the Delete button.

Upon the successful deletion of leftovers, the uninstallation process will be completed and the program will be permanently removed from your computer.
