A powerful program to uninstall programs along with their leftover file and registry entries, Total Uninstall has long been on my wish list. Let’s talk about its features now.
Total Uninstall has the search feature to quickly identify an application from a clean list of programs comprising names, installation dates and sizes. Once a program is selected, a scanning occurs and a treeview of details can be seen. Three different analysis profiles, namely safe, normal and advanced, are available.
We can batch uninstall programs, add a new program to the list, change program names, change icons, add notes, create groups and subgroups for organizing programs as well as choose to shred files instead of sending them to the Recycle Bin.
Supporting context menu integration for monitoring an installation, Total Uninstall can completely remove a monitored program. For this purpose, a comparison is made between the pre-installed and post-installation snapshots of the registry and file system.
The program can create a system restore point as well as back up files and registry items allowing to reverse the process in case problems may appear. A detailed uninstall log with total successful actions, errors and warnings, as well as full path of each deleted file, folder and registry key is displayed after a program uninstallation.
The built-in Cleaner allows to get rid of unnecessary files, folders and registry keys that may take extra space on the system. The program can look for invalid entries (e.g. missing shared DLLs, file references, MSI paths) and file system data (e.g. Windows log files, memory dumps, temporary folders, browsing info for various browsers) for the purpose.
