Absolute Uninstaller is one of the few Windows uninstaller tools that addresses a common problem with the Add/Remove Programs panel: The standard Windows uninstaller leaves broken registry keys and unnecessary files on the hard disk after a program is removed. As time passes, those fragments build up and take up disk space and expand the registry long after the program has been removed. Glarysoft’s utility promises to be a drop-in replacement for removing the applications in bulk instead of one by one, and to follow up each removal with a sweep for any remaining data. It is free and works on Windows, and it shows the list of installed software with size, installation date, version and last used information to help you decide which software to remove.
How Absolute Uninstaller works:
The application lists all the installed software, Microsoft Store apps, and Windows updates and categorizes them into views like all programs, large programs, and rarely used programs. When you select one or more entries, the vendor’s own uninstaller is run, and then a cleanup pass is performed to look for orphaned files and registry entries associated with the uninstalled software. Batch uninstall and backup or restore of uninstall information allows users to schedule multiple uninstalls and roll back if an uninstall is done too soon. A search box finds a specific title and an auto-fix routine removes invalid entries made by failed installers.
