The IObit Uninstaller is a free tool to, guess what, uninstall software. This doesn’t sound like something special, right? Windows can already uninstall software via Programs and Features in the Control Panel. Or doesn’t it? You are right. Windows can do it. But not very well. A lot of software can be removed using Windows’s uninstaller tool. Still, once in a while, an application refuses to be uninstalled. And even if you are successful and did not get any error message or warning at all, there might still be something left behind.
What does IObit Uninstaller do better?
First, what has been installed? A lot happens when you install software. Folders are created in Program Files or Program Files (x86), ProgramData, and Users. Some folders might be created in other places, such as the location (installation path) you chose at the beginning of the installation process. Besides, the installer will add entries to the Registry.
And if you did not carefully uncheck some of the optional checkboxes, you might end up with add-on software like browser plug-ins and toolbars you don’t want.
This is where IObit Uninstaller shines. This tool will list all installed software, including Windows Apps, Toolbars, and Plug-ins. Under Programs, you will see a bunch of categories. Need some space on your hard drive? Look at Large Programs. Maybe there is something you don’t need. Another option is to look under Infrequently Used. If you don’t use specific software, why keep it?
And as mentioned before, some uninstallers are messy and leave bits and pieces behind. IObit Uninstaller removes all that mess. This can free up some needed space on your hard drive.
As you can see, there is a lot you can do with IObit Uninstaller. Cleanly removing software results in a healthier and faster computer.
Case Study: Santa Clause in Trouble
Santa Clause in Trouble is an excellent Jump & Run game for Christmas. And it is the perfect example of the use of IObit Uninstaller. If you try to uninstall this game through Windows’s uninstaller tool (under Programs and Features), it won’t work. You get an error message, and the game stays. Now use IObit Uninstaller, and the game will be uninstalled. And after uninstalling, the leftovers will also be removed to free up some space on your hard drive.
