The end of the rainbow

by rkd108428 Oct 22, 2012 (Read all my 17 reviews)

Revo is the end of the rainbow as far as free uninstallers go. It is great peace of mind to see a big tree of registry values and remnant subfolders and junk getting purged after a program's native uninstaller has run. The program has a clean icon-based interface, various uninstall levels (although I've never used anything but the deepest "Advanced" uninstall option), and is trivially simple to use. Goes without saying that an uninstaller must be bug-free and Revo has never glitched on me. The only thing missing is the ability to do forced uninstalls, but that's what the paid version is for.

Have tried many

by gimpguy Jul 22, 2012 (Read all my 1072 reviews)

I have tried many uninstallers but I keep coming back to Revo, why? Because it's one of the best and thorough uninstallers there are, not to mention fast and free. I will likely end up getting the pro version. Can't say enough about this uninstaller.

Excellent for 32 bits applications

by Atagong Mar 15, 2011 (Read all my 7 reviews)

I can only repeat what others have said about Revo Uninstaller Free, this is a magnificent tool... but only for 32 bit applications (that still makes out 85 of all software, I presume). Please be careful with the Hunter Mode as in the few cases I have ever tried it, it detected the wrong files (mainly because the uninstall info was no longer present on my PC). 64-bit applications will not be detected by Revo Uninstaller Free and you will either have to download (and buy) Revo Uninstaller Pro or use the Windows uninstaller. That is the only reason why I don't give it 5 stars out of 5.

Best yet

by Hapzap Dec 03, 2010 (Read all my 4 reviews)

Its not only the best for free stuff it is better than any out there. It works, and it keeps things clean so you don`t have lots of leftovers. Uninstalling has never been easier.

Best by far!

by sawfish29 Jun 09, 2010 (Read all my 2 reviews)

This is a very clean, nifty, efficient uninstaller, and it's free. SO much better than Windows uninstall. SO good, in fact, that after a year of use, I'm going to spring for the PRO version.

Essential

by SeSorrow Feb 18, 2010 (Read all my 29 reviews)

Other reviews have covered the essential power of this app. I can verify it works. I have used this for a while now and have NEVER had an issue with uninstalling a program, or reboot issues. I have it on all of my PCs and my laptop. I have compiled a list of the best freeware and open source applications I have found and this is on the top 10. I have distributed this list to friends, fellow students, and instructors at school, so it must be good if I put my "seal of approval" on it. This tool DOES delete those nasty toolbar leftovers, the spyware/adware remnants, those programs with uninstallers that don't delete files/folders. It simply works.

The best uninstall utility but not perfect

by wildgoosespeeder Dec 30, 2009 (Read all my 52 reviews)

Not only does it run the uninstall application for the program you want to uninstall, it scans the computer for leftover files and registry entries from the uninstall! It was always a pain to search for all that manually. This tool is also great for cleaning up your hard drive and startup entries. The Junk Files Cleaner feature the first time running it found tens of thousands of junk files. It gave me a few GBs of space back once cleared. It also has great cleaners for web browsers, Microsoft Office, and the Windows OS itself. One thing that could be improved is adding web browser cleaners for the major web browsers for only Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Safari and drop Netscape. Netscape is a dead web browser. Another improvement is uninstallations that require reboot. I don't want to mess with the leftover information scan with the required reboot. After reboot Revo Uninstaller can`t continue the leftover information scan. This needs to be fixed somehow.

This is the one to use

by TerryP Dec 06, 2009 (Read all my 80 reviews)

The best free uninstaller tool out there. Definitely would classify this as a must have utility that should be on every PC. Comes in a portable version too.

Almost perfect

by Williy1 Nov 03, 2009 (Read all my 6 reviews)

This tool saved me my PC many times when the others failed. It's under continuous development and is getting better. But it is perfect even now all it needs a little care deleting registry keys. But it doesn't switch in automatic mode and gives information and time enough to make the right decision. Capable of installing programs, which comes without their own uninstaller and couldn't be removed without a tool like this.

Wonderful!

by darkocean Jul 13, 2009 (Read all my 28 reviews)

WOOOT! I Finaly got rid of those annoying leftover files. Like Avira, PC Tools antivirus, WOW, Firefox (the last 2 will work right when re-downloaded unless they are completely uninstalled.) And I hate any leftovers. If I want something gone I want it gone all the way. Especially malware, ick. Great job thanks!

I love this program, use it often .

by bobbybeau Jul 08, 2009 (Read all my 3 reviews)

I have used many uninstaller programs, but this one is outstanding. If I download a program, and don't like it, I use this uninstaller to take it out...nice piece of software, try it, you'll like it.

Great program

by EricPost Jun 24, 2009 (Read all my 10 reviews)

This rocks, I can't recommend it enough. The only thing is if you don't want it to make a restore point each time, (let's say you're uninstalling more than one program, one after the other) make sure you uncheck that option. Nothing bad about this, get it

On my top 10 list of freeware.

by PimpinAintEZ Mar 18, 2009 (Read all my 4 reviews)

Been using this for a year or two now and love it. Awesome uninstaller - haven't used windows add/remove again. Cleans a bunch of left-over junk from uninstalls. Awesome interface, autoupdates and works flawlessly on my XP and Vista machines. One of the BEST free proggys I've ever used.

It got rid of crappy dealio

by EduardoGC Mar 02, 2009

I installed a toolbar because it was included with other application. Then deleted toolbar but it left a suspicious searchsetting.exe program running ... Downloaded a nice Registry tool here at SF but no help neither. I entered again here and Snapfiles delivers ! Downloaded and ran REVO and WOW it did in seconds what I couldn't for hours. One of best programs I have ever used, excellent, easy to use, freeware! Thanks Revo and Snapfiles. I would donate but this program is really freeware !

A definite keeper

by Rustyboy Jan 13, 2009 (Read all my 33 reviews)

Revo is very good at removing stubborn remnants from incomplete or incorrect uninstalls. It hunts out left over registry keys and deletes those too (after user confirmation). An excellent piece of software.

Complete and userfriendly

by allcazar Dec 23, 2008 (Read all my 3 reviews)

Use this on all my Windows-computers. Is a the best way to get rid of left-behinds while uninstalling. Gives a good overview of what is installed.

Good software

by HanWeggelaar Dec 23, 2008

I had some problems with a program which wouldn't leave my computer. I struggled and almost lost the battle. I remembered a small tool which I used on my old computer. That did the trick. With Revo uninstaller I got rid of the annoying program. Thanks.

Always does the trick ...

by TideWalker Oct 25, 2008 (Read all my 23 reviews)

I've been using this for quite awhile and it works fine. I haven't had any problems with it at all. I'm using (fully updated) Win-XP pro and the latest version of Revo Uninstaller. Sometimes RU will remove programs the Windows uninstaller could not. A big Thanks to the author for another good working free utility for my toolbox. This program is also very easy to learn and use. A keeper!

Really good, but with reboot issues.

by kathy025 Sep 18, 2008 (Read all my 12 reviews)

Revo Uninstaller encounters problems when the software to be uninstalled requires a reboot. When you opt to "Restart Later" and let Revo continue the job, it hangs during the leftover files deletion. If you decide to "Restart Now", then Revo won't be able to delete the leftover files and registry.

Just surprised

by eddiep Aug 19, 2008

My add/remove program would not delete windows 2005 server and some spy files. Revo Unistaller worked fine, everyone needs this system cleaner.

Bravo!

by pacis_alio Jun 20, 2008

I had some serious issues while trying to update an older program. The installer kept saying it could not remove the old version of the program. I tried several things but nothing worked. I used Revo and voilA ! Everything is gone and the update installed. Well done to the programmer(s)!

Brilliant

by AspieMum Jun 19, 2008 (Read all my 3 reviews)

Its such a good program I never uninstall a program I need to uninstall any other way than with Revo Uninstaller. You can delete files that the program you are uninstalling`s own uninstaller leaves behind. Its very rare you cannot. It is easy to use and understand how to use it. I wouldn't go back to using just the uninstaller that comes with the program you are trying to uninstall.

Effective and convenient

by Thezenarcher Jun 19, 2008 (Read all my 8 reviews)

Has worked flawlessly for me under XP. The Junk Files scanner is especially effective because it allows for additional target object customization -- making Revo Uninstaller a much-needed companion to CCleaner and such which do not. Very highly recommended.

Primo uninstall tool

by thefreewaredream Jun 15, 2008 (Read all my 2 reviews)

Revo UnInstaller is a definite 'must have' app that I always recommend to others as it supersedes the Add/Remove in Windows. It totally eliminates even the most stubborn (or poorly crafted) installations from a Windows machine. My extreme thanks to the developers for bestowing this wonderful 'gift' of freeware!

The best freeware all time!

Revo works!

by moparmac Mar 31, 2008 (Read all my 11 reviews)

I had a major problem uninstalling Adobe Reader. The program's unistaller was non-functional and gave an error. I ran Revo and it cleaned up enough garbage that I was able to install Adobe Reader. It isn't like another program that I tried that eventually tells you that you have to pay to fix the problem.Revo is Free,effective,and clean.

Life saver

by sunwise Mar 17, 2008

This is the best uninstall tool I have ever used. I repair computers for a living, since using this tool it has saved me hours on repairs. I use hunter mode in a drag and drop style, I locate the virus program drag and drop onto the flames kill the process and then delete the file. People may think that I could of killed the process by task manager but the virus was disabling it from use. Recommend it to all my customers who have found it very easy to use.

Indispensable

by Fletch Feb 28, 2008 (Read all my 8 reviews)

Does an extremely thorough job of getting rid of debris left behind after only running the deleted program's uninstaller---an hp image program "overlooked" 2600 (that's not a typo] registry keys after running it's uninstaller that Revo tracked down like a bounty hunter and drew attention to for easy deletion--you wouldn't guess how much junk is left behind by many utilities--they don't hide from this Pilgrim! When working on an ME system felt handcuffed I couldn't access this dandy program--a standby on W2K and XP systems.

Very best of its type

by sandiegan92111 Oct 30, 2007 (Read all my 14 reviews)

I had been using the Safrap uninstaller which is very fast but Revo is just as fast and offers deletion of associated registry entries as well. Even some small downloads can leave behind a large number of such entries. A nice package of very useful freeware.

Good set of tools

by owentech Oct 22, 2007

I think the name 'Uninstaller' is a bit misleading. This software also contains an Startup Manager, a Recent Used Files cleaner and other nice tools. I found the interface is a little bit confusing but still usable. I think it's a nice piece of freeware.

Proved its worth very quickly

by Belatucadrus Oct 01, 2007 (Read all my 13 reviews)

I had a couple of bits on the PC that were persistent in the extreme, defying all attempts by Windows uninstall and a couple of other programs to eradicate them. Revo not only deleted them, it cleaned up registry entries afterwards. For this alone I'd give it five, but the system tune utilities and space eraser work fine as well, a very nice bit of kit to have.

Good uninstaller program with nice features

by Big_Ty Aug 24, 2007 (Read all my 3 reviews)

Had used Your Uninstaller 2006 for a while until I stumbled upon this program. One of the stand out features using this program is it's ability to scan an uninstall routine before and after the regular uninstaller runs. That way, it can remove registry entries and leftover files and folders from uninstalling process. This is one program that is rapidly becoming one of my favorite utilities.
