Uninstall your Windows software with IOBit Uninstaller

Everyone time a software needs to be uninstalled from your Windows PC, most of us simply head to that "Add/ Remove Program" or "Uninstall" icon inside Windows Control Panel. But did you know, that most times, these built-in tools do not do a good job of removing that software. These leftovers will often start building over time causing Windows to throw strange error messages, slow down or even crash. Not to mention, eat up space on your hard disk.

There is a better way to do this.
Meet IOBit Uninstaller - one of the several excellent freeware programs out there that provide an improvement over the built-in "Windows Add or Remove Program" feature.

The main thing this category of apps do over and above uninstalling software, is that they also look for leftover files or registry entries that applications tend to create when you use them. And then you are presented with an option to look through them or simply chose to remove them all!

Obviously, it is free and capable of dealing with both 32 and 64-bit apps. If you don't know what that means - never mind for now.

For me, it has some great pros
  • It's fast! 
  • Has a "batch uninstall" feature so you can select more than one apps to uninstall in a single go. 
  • As a bonus - visually displays the apps into categories like recently installed, rarely used, etc. This can be very handy.
Give it a shot and let me know what you think? Found a better alternative? Tell me, I am always looking :-)
