However, Revo then takes the next step to remove all the registry entries, leaving a "cleaner" system. Running this in Powershell just removes the app, and the icon from the Start menu. Get-AppxPackage *windowscalculator* | Remove-AppxPackage Get-AppxPackage *windowsalarms* | Remove-AppxPackage Get-AppxPackage *3dbuilder* | Remove-AppxPackage Step 1, Revo just uses the same Powershell command line Get-AppxPackage etc as could be used manually in Powershell e.g. Run the cleanup before any restart, even if prompted.Īn option to RevUninstaller is GeekUninstaller (also freeware version) which provides the same.ĮDIT : A classic example of this is using Revo to uninstall Windows bloatware and adware that comes as default with a Windows installation. Note a trick in using Revo is NOT to restart when prompted after the first level of uninstallation. Cue : Norton anti-virus software as an example (altho they're not the only ones). This is either by laziness in program design, or more sinister/devious intent. In a lot of instances, these leftovers are deliberate attempts by the software distributor to leave traces and/or trackers on your device.
However, Revo then takes that extra step to find the left over files and/or folders, and registry entries, that are left behind. At this point, it's just the same as using Control Panel > Programs & Features > selecting the program > Uninstall. In step 1, Revo just uses the built-in Windows uninstaller that comes either with the program, or created by Windows.
