Below are the commonly used license types. The results are then shown as a tree of files and registry entries which you can manually mark for deletion–a responsible choice, since IObit won’t automatically delete anything for you.Every software has a unique license type that you can find on the program page, search, or the webpage of category. IObit Uninstaller deleted the portable application smoothly and without a hitch.Īfter completing the uninstall process, IObit Uninstaller lets you run a Powerful Scan (their capitalization, not mine), which runs through the hard drive and registry, looking for anything the uninstaller may have left behind. I then used it to remove a simple portable application that didn’t come with an installer (or uninstaller, for that matter). I tried this with an application that did have a registered uninstaller, and IObit Uninstaller correctly detected and ran it, rather than forcibly remove it. IObit Uninstaller also offers an interesting feature called Forced Uninstall, for applications that cannot be removed via their own uninstallers. This doesn’t save you much effort over just uninstalling in Windows’s Add/Remove Hardware. You still need to sit there, clicking Next-Next-Next through every uninstaller, waiting for each to do its thing so the next one can start. Since uninstallers generally require user intervention, this doesn’t save you any time. What IObit Uninstaller actually does, though, is simply run all of the uninstallers for the applications you’re trying to remove, one after the other. After marking all the applications you’d like to get rid of, just click the Uninstall button, and IObit Uninstaller does its magic. This is something commercial utility Revo Uninstaller Pro doesn’t have, but rival Absolute Uninstaller has been offering for years: In Batch Uninstall mode, every application gets a little checkbox which you can tick. One feature that caught my eye is the Batch Uninstall mode.
