"I have used IObit programs for years with great effect ! For this reason I stay with IObit products.I, in the past have serviced and fixed laptops and mobiles (android) and always leave them, with IObit products installed, and ask them to regularly 'hit the big' C' and tell them it will automatically fix and speed up their laptop/computer/mobile! :)I highly recommend the uninstaller (and the latest beta) as a safe reliable program that shifts stubborn programs! Most importantly, remove 'hidden' coding that the programmer intended to leave, which then brings adverts to re-install again!IObit 'ALL' products are safe' and easy to use' most of all look after your PC's."
"I find IObit uninstaller excellent to use as it has all you could wish for. I love the fact that it uninstalls all the left over fragments. It also has a software updater which reminds you when one of the programs need updating, and the fact that it will uninstall batch programs really makes it a winner. In fact it is basically just what one needs to keep your computer good to go."
"IObit Uninstaller is the best software to remove programs on the computer, it is fast and very effective it does not compare anything with basic uninstaller of windows, it seriously cleans all the rest of the program and so there are no delays in the computer. I have been using it for a few months and I do not know how to live without it, I recommend it to my friends and family.Thanks IObit Uninstaller is fantastic."
I don't think this is the best idea, since the process would be a bit unusual to OS X users. As you noted, most applications are installed simply by dragging a .app file to /Applications (or some other location). Some apps do have an installer, but even apps with an installer only occasionally have an uninstaller; and furthermore, as a Mac user, I'd be immediately suspicious of an app that installed itself and some sort of unknown shell script.
I would recommend against it. You could create an uninstaller but nothing is going to stop a user from just deleting it from the application folder or using something like AppZapper. Most people don't even look for an uninstaller application, they just trash the app, so even if you wrote one there would be no guarantee it'll be used.
I'm migrating to OS Monterey 12.1 and have an old wersion on MC installed (Avid Media Composer(R) 18.12.2 migrated from old OS) but can not uninstall it. When I run the old uninstaller Ver 4.4.0, it does not see anything to delete? Any suggestions
Hi Chris,
I updated to Monterrey from Big Sur with MC 21.12.0. When I tried to upgrade, the Mc uninstaller says that media composer is uninstalled on my computer. MC works on my computer, but only with one new project that I created in 21.12
Ensure that all your files are synced to your Creative Cloud account before running the uninstaller. Files not synced to your Creative Cloud account could be lost. You can check the sync status of your files in the Creative Cloud Files folder. In case you get a sync error, learn how to fix file syncing issues in the Creative Cloud desktop app.
An uninstaller, also called a deinstaller, is a variety of utility software designed to remove other software or parts of it from a computer. It is the opposite of an installer. Uninstallers are useful primarily when software components are installed in multiple directories, or where some software components might be shared between the system being uninstalled and other systems that remain in use.
Generic uninstallers flourished in the 1990s due to the popularity of shared libraries and the constraints of then-current operating systems, especially Microsoft Windows XP. Declining storage costs and increasing capacity subsequently made reclaiming disk space less urgent, while end-user applications have increasingly relied on simpler installation architectures that consolidate all components to facilitate removal.
Prior to about the 1990s, there was no such thing as an uninstaller, as most programs were simply stored on disk and/or tape, and a program was "removed" by simply erasing it. As operating systems and applications became more complex, mere deletion of a program might be inadequate or insufficent to remove the program in its entirety. Entries might be left behind in a system database such as a registry, it may have additional data files, cpnfiguration files, sample files, etc.
The AMD/NVIDIA video drivers can normally be uninstalled from the Windows Control panel, this driver uninstaller program was designed to be used in cases where the standard driver uninstall fails, or anyway when you need to thoroughly delete NVIDIA and ATI video card drivers. The current effect after you use this driver removal tool will be similar as if its the first time you install a new driver just like a fresh, clean install of Windows. As with any tool of this kind, we recommend creating a new system restore point before using it, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems.
I have not personally tried this (as I dual boot), but you can download an uninstaller program. You can look here for information on how to install and use it (see the "second option"): -Uninstaller. An alternative is to use a tool like GParted to format and delete the unwanted windows partition. Be sure to back up your files!
Whenever I use IObit uninstaller, it makes a restore point before deleting. I cannot find a way to access the restore points. I need to go back to a previous point, and I cannot find a way to access the restore points.
tl;dr version: I am trying to find the official uninstaller program for Killer Wireless to completely erase all traces of it from my Dell G5 Gaming Desktop. I want to do a clean install manually, but I am unsure if this uninstaller program even still exists since Intel acquired Rivet about a year ago. Help?
I want to completely uninstall the Killer Wireless EVERYTHING, including registry and such. There used to be a Killer Wireless Uninstaller executable file you could download directly from the original Killer Wireless website to do this properly, but now these links all redirect to Intel's site (link below), which does not have an uninstaller program listed.
Hello, sorry for a very simple question but I can't find the uninstaller for Retrospect 17 for Mac. It's not in the installer package and I looked around the retrospect website for over an hour and couldn't find.
If that sounds like too much trouble then launch the "Retrospect" app, select "Preferences..." from the "Retrospect" menu, select the "Console" pane (far right) and then "Export server installer and uninstaller" to the destination of your choice.
So I did "Export server installer and uninstaller" to a thumb drive connected to my Mac Pro, then took the thumb drive over to to my MBP and ran the un-Zipped "Retrospect Support.app from there. Before doing that I followed the procedure on pages 196-197 of the Retrospect Mac 17 User's Guide (which is on a different page in the Retrospect Mac 16 UG; I was uninstalling Retrospect Mac 16). Note that what page 197 says is /Library/Preferences/com.Retrospect.plist has an extra "Retrospect" as part of the name.
Undoing the steps may not be that hard, but I think it would reflect a more responsible app deployment to also include an uninstaller script of some kind for Linux. Please let me know if you have any more refined or recent advice for uninstalling the Playdate SDK on Linux.
Eventually we'd like to move setup to flatpak or some other package. However, an uninstaller would be a nice. With the udev rule specifically, some users would already have that set up and we wouldn't want to undo that change blindly so we'd need some sort-of state tracking which would require more that what we have now. Thanks for the feedback!
As the first uninstall utility that comes up with the idea of bundleware removal, IObit Uninstaller has advanced algorithms to detect bundleware when it is just installed, which allows users to uninstall all unwanted bundleware conveniently and timely.

Force Uninstall+ helps you uninstall programs that cannot be uninstalled in a routine way due to missing uninstall registries or built-in uninstaller errors, and clean all related files easily. Real-time Install Monitor supports logging startups, system services, scheduled tasks, DLL registration, and more other items created during the installation process for future thorough uninstall of the program. Software Health gives users power to manage hidden software permissions, block disturbing popup notifications, clean unneeded setup files, and remove malicious software & browser extensions, which makes all your software run smoother and also reduces security risks.
