Revo Uninstaller Pro

Software Utilities > PC Optimization - Uninstallation

The Ultimate Uninstall Tool!

"This one's found a quick home among my must-haves." -- Lifehacker Editorial Review

There are lots of uninstall utilities out there that attempt to outdo the relatively mediocre one that's built into Windows. Lots of uninstall utilities, but only one Revo Uninstaller!

Never heard of Revo Uninstaller? Do yourself a favor and download the freeware version immediately. You'll be joining millions and millions (nearly 3 million via download.com alone!) of users that have discovered this indispensable Windows utility. See for yourself what makes this the ultimate uninstaller!

Already a Revo Uninstaller user? Take a look at the awesome extended features that a Pro license brings to the table. As good as the freeware version is -- and it's good -- Revo Uninstaller Pro more than makes up for it's modest price.

You know the drill. Every time you install and uninstall a piece of software, traces, remnants, helper programs, shared files, and other little gremlins are left behind. This can clutter your registry, your hard drive, your folder structure... you get the idea. And frankly, Windows does a pretty poor job of dealing with these scenarios. The Add/Remove tool simply doesn't do what it's supposed to.

With incredibly efficient, incredibly powerful algorithms, Revo Uninstaller Pro analyzes an application's data before uninstall and scans for remnants after the uninstall. After the regular uninstaller runs, you can remove the host of additional unnecessary files, folders, and registry keys that are almost always left behind.

But un-installation is only the beginning of what this awesome software can do!

ANTHONY PRESTON Okay I have ver 2 Pro and I am trying to save some money. Can I move the old version to a second PC, And then purchase this special offer and run on my main PC. I am very happy with the older version but it would be nice to upgrade. I realize I can upgrade my existing license but then I will have only one license.
May 10 at 6:30am
Vasil Georgiev Hi Anthony, yes, of course you can transfer your current version 2 to another PC. Just contact our support team with your purchase data ,in order to update your account to be able to activate on the second PC
VS Revo Group Ltd. Vendor - May 10 at 7:21am
Raimondas Antanavicius Hello. How long purchased license will be valid? Is it permament?
May 11 at 2:41am
Vasil Georgiev Hello, purchase of a License includes free updates of the program, till the next major version like 4.0. Major versions includes major improvements and new features. Depending on the features you can decide to upgrade by purchasing an upgrade license (significant discount will be applied) or to continue using the major version you have purchased a license for as long as you want.

Danny Which I have for several years already, since I have a lot of fun! This is simply the best of the best of its kind!!!
May 13 at 12:24am
HuangYe WuDeng I 'v bought this software for $19.5 .And in CNY ,it's 120?,it's not cheap.But ,it was worth buying.
This is almost the best uninstaller software I've ever used.
May 13 at 12:31am
don cartagena Absolutely love this could not live without it!
May 13 at 12:37am
garrett james I crashed my old drive with the version I bought back 12/10/11. I still have the serial number but can not find that older version to download. Do you have a link. I have other uninstallers as part of other suites but I must say, that Revo is definitely better and faster
May 13 at 12:43am
Quill Pen EVERY software developer "should" as a matter of course provide an uninstaller that completely erases all trace of their software. Sadly, most don't bother and even software with an uninstall.exe usually fail to remove all footprints and detritus.
Microsoft "should" have an Add/Remove process that removes all traces of software, but then when has Microsoft ever done the right thing?
So, here's an unqualified thumbs up... Revo's been king of the hill for as long as I can remember. How I wish I could afford this Pro version at such a ridiculously low price, but in this economy I've zero discretionary income. sigh I am grateful for Revo's generous free version.
Only complaint I've ever heard comes from new users who don't read instructions and don't understand file structure. "Drill down the path" should come second nature but they click everything checked which can inadvertently trash other programs as effectively as an unsupervised registry cleaner.
May 13 at 12:55am
Vasil Georgiev Hi Garrett, yes there is a link to the latest 2.x version that is 2.5.9 on our web site - on the download page at the bottom. Here it is :
http://www.revouninstalle...ion259.php

@ HuangYe, thank you for your feedback, we continue to improve Revo Uninstaller Pro, so such one or similar feature may be added in the future.
VS Revo Group Ltd. Vendor - May 13 at 12:55am
Cary Adams Great software. Must have.

Started with v2, now have 2 licenses for v3.

Learn to log all your installations. Be sure not to run anything else during an installation or else it may be recorded as something to be uninstalled later.

The ability to edit install logs is awesome. Finally don't count on the "canned" install logs offered by Revo. They are very limited and it's likely you will never use them.

The privacy/cleaner features are OK, but you're more likely to use Ccleaner. You won't find a better deal than this one.
May 13 at 5:46am
ron r I read the 'extended features' page, am I correct that this tool can also analyze the installation process of an application and then backup the application for future "reinstall"?

And if this is possible, can it be done on file and registry level? And can there be choice between them? What I mean with this is: only scan and backup registry changes OR file changes during installation?
May 13 at 6:23am
Joyce Dias What if i have already uninstalled a program previously, will Revo be able to identify any footprint files associated with a program that has been uninstalled and clean it up?
May 13 at 6:31am
Vasil Georgiev Hi Ron r, Revo Uninstaller Pro can trace installations, but there is no feature that makes backup of the installed programs based on the information in the log, so the backup feature you are asking is not implemented yet.

@ Joyce Dias, Not sure that I completely understood you, but if you are asking about files with specific files extension created and used by a specific program that you have already uninstalled, then probably you should use the Junk File Cleaner (JFC) tool of Revo Uninstaller Pro and add that file extension to the list of extensions (located in the Options) JFC scans for. Otherwise if you want to search for and remove leftovers of the uninstalled program than you can try the Forced Uninstall feature.
VS Revo Group Ltd. Vendor - May 13 at 6:59am
Joyce Dias Thank you Vasil. I had installed proprietary software that came with a Kodak camera and then edited the video with Sony Vegas. The camera broke and I uninstalled tehir software. However I am unable to delete associated video that is on my computer because everytime I attempt to delete it , it says the file is being used by another program. I am assuming tehre is junk associated with it. Will te junk fil e cleaner determine if those files are still there and can it remove it, allowing me to delete the video files?
May 13 at 7:38am
Vasil Georgiev Thank you for the details Joyce, indeed the JFC may find and delete some leftover temporary or unnecessary files related to the software you had, but I am not 100% sure that this will help you to delete that video file. For such message " it says the file is being used by another program" you may try to use another program - Unlocker (it is free). It should be able to detect the program that is using that video file and help you to "detach" it and then delete is successfully.
VS Revo Group Ltd. Vendor - May 13 at 8:49am
T Raynor And this is for version3?
May 13 at 12:08pm
Mappi75 Thanks for the offer bought

3 license because it was cheaper than buying 2 license ;)
May 13 at 12:44pm
Vasil Georgiev Hi T Raynor, yes current promo offer is for current version 3 of Revo Uninstaller Pro
VS Revo Group Ltd. Vendor - May 13 at 12:48pm
Techtoysavvy bought 4 since it was slightly cheaper than upgrading.
bought 4 v2 in Jan 2012. I expect I can use those on my other machines. I will use v3 on my main machines.
May 13 at 1:08pm
Gareth Crispell Please send registration key
May 13 at 1:27pm
Faisal Humayun I must admit that with the new features in version 3 (particularly 64 bit support) put Revo right up there now, as one of the the best serving this genre, and at this price point, inexcusable to not get.
These are the kinds of gems which keeps bringing me back to BDJ.
May 13 at 4:31pm
Tom Colvin I just installed Revo Uninstaller, asking for a desktop icon. While the program was installed and properly registered, the only icon on my desktop is for Revo UnInstall 1.94. Can I safely remove 1.94 from my system, without compromising the new Pro 3.0.5 version? I notice that 3.0.5 shows the new program under the new programs list, and then Revo reappears in the older programs available for uninstall.
May 13 at 6:13pm
DroidLuvr @everyone: IMHO this is one of the absolute best programs out there!! I'm not taking advantage of the offer today, but only because I paid full price to cover every single one of my computers already!

I have used the free version of this (which is still available, but if you can afford it, the paid version is SOOOO worth it) for so many years I can't count, and upgraded to the paid version almost immediately after it came out. I have upgraded every version since then, and it is one of the very first programs I install if I build a new machine.

I don't know of any other product out there that can even come close to the pro version of Revo ;-) -- for those of us that are regulars here, it is a MUST HAVE as we all install way too much software that doesn't get thoroughly cleaned out with a regular uninstall!!! he he he

Just my 2 cents for today -- and no, I have absolutely no affiliation with Revo other than having been a very happy customer for a couple of decades or so now...
May 13 at 7:46pm
Vasil Georgiev Hi Gareth, your purchase is confirmed, so you should have received the license data automatically, so check your spam/junk folder. Just in case we will resend it again.

@ Tom Colvin, Yes, you can remove Revo Uninstaller Freeware 1.94 and there will not be any problem with the Pro version. Both versions Freeware and Pro are completely independent so removing one of them doesn't affect the other.

@ DroidLuvr, thank you for your feedback and support on our product and for the additional advice helping on Joyce Dias
VS Revo Group Ltd. Vendor - May 13 at 9:49pm
VLM I started in v2 and upgraded to v3. V2 is great, v3 even better, I have no earthly idea what would replace this tool. I find is essential.
May 14 at 1:23am
Chris Just to let people know, I purchased this yesterday and today when I ran it there was an update for it already. Now that is what I call a great developer, offer their software at a discount and update it the next day.
May 14 at 1:24am
Terry Lee So good uninstaller (Pro) You can get also free version from authors
homesite! ;-)
May 14 at 2:16am
Alan Sawyer I have one laptop, but I have 11 VM's on that laptop that I use for testing, etc. I am a software developer, but I'm the only person using the laptop.
Would this qualify as one computer??
May 14 at 6:18am
Peter Thompson Great program. I'm not someone who buys a lot of programs but this is one of those programs that's well worth the cheap price. I use CCleaner usually and it has an uninstaller and a separate registry key remover but the two don't work in unison like this program and I've came across programs that are hard to remove before.
May 14 at 7:07am
Rich OBrien I've been using Revo Uninstaller Pro for years, use it exclusively for uninstalling all software and highly recommend Revo. You can't appreciate how important this software is for doing a clean uninstall until you run it and encounter a program that uninstalls but leaves 600 files behind along with countless entries in the Windows Registry. Revo Uninstaller Pro finds and cleans up these messes. I'm sure it was Bits Du Jour that brought Revo to my attention years ago and I am so ever thankful.
May 14 at 7:10am
Vasil Georgiev Hi Alan Sawyer, yes it counts for one computer and you need a license for one computer. But to be able to register the product on that virtual machines you will have to contact our support team to update your account with the number of virtual machines you want to use the program, as for our activation/registration algorithm virtual machines are other computers. Also Revo Uninstaller Pro is 30 days fully functional trial, so if you reset your virtual machines very often you can use the trial period.
VS Revo Group Ltd. Vendor - May 14 at 7:50am
Alan Sawyer Vasil,
Thanks and purchase has been made.
May 14 at 8:27am
Vasil Georgiev Alan, thank you for your purchase, your account is updated, so you shouldn't have problems to register the product on the virtual machines
VS Revo Group Ltd. Vendor - May 14 at 8:59am
Alan Sawyer Thanks
Haven't even installed the software yet and I'm impressed.

Some files on a system do 'lock-up' sometimes and so cannot be deleted. If it is a simple job then maybe a utility such as Unlocker will allow you to delete your video(s) when this is impossible to do while in Windows Explorer (your file manager). By the way Unlocker will also allow you to detach a USB memory stick if the system says the stick is still in use. Saves ripping it out and then maybe corrupting the stick and losing all your data.

If the problem is tougher then you could try MoveOnBoot (it is free). This will delete a file as your machine boots up. Yet another way to get rid of a problem file.

I was going to write this a couple of days ago but thought it best to let the developer of Revo answer such questions. I also thought it not wise to give suggestions because this forum is not about providing general help but more for the developer to say what his software can do. I have no connection with Unlocker or MoveOn Boot. I have used them and they are very good tools.
May 14 at 4:58pm
gail f Love my Revo Pro, I have version 2 so upgrading is a little cheaper, glad this offer made me aware to go do that.

My one wish for future development would be to add serial numbers/registration codes as a column that we could really use when we use the export to Excel function. That is the hardest part of getting a new system is trying to find all the installation serials for programs! Having iright with the program name would be a huge plus. Right now Belarc will do it but the ir report is somewhat limited in the software it includes.

thanks!
May 14 at 6:27pm
Vivaldi Bought and installed. Opened the program. What a nice surprise! The UI is wonderful to look at! This is what Microsoft should have done with add/remove but never did. I haven't had occasion to use the software yet, but based on all the comments here, I'm fully expecting it to become a program I get to know well. (And registration was one of the fastest and easiest I've ever done.)
May 14 at 9:27pm
Lwarom Yes I agree about the discounted price of $ 15 reported to my discount to $ 19 for Your Uninstaller 7! Is just the Licensing deal which is pretty tight to Machine ID-activation is required with a hardware footprint, and 1 installation per footprint? In comparison, Your Uninstaller 7 even using a/PC license it is not going that far with the rules. Again, is every one's option though. BTW, I am not in any way shape or form connected to ursoftware.com the Author of Your Uninstaller 7, is just a personal opinion.
May 15 at 12:16am
Terry Lee I think about that, the best uninstaller ever is PerfectUnintaller!
It uninstal almost anythin from your computer if you want to do that!
It also to remove all traces from the unistalled program after that when uninstalled program self has been removed first!
May 15 at 12:57am
Mappi75 @Your Uninstaller 7

website is extremly slow, klick "buy button" nothing happend!
Don't know its not really trustworthy ?

@PerfectUnintaller

At download.com the reviews are a real warning!
May 15 at 4:24am
Vasil Georgiev Hi Lwarom, thank you for your feedback. Yes, Revo Uninstaller Pro uses a Machine ID-activation and there is no portable version or other version with that can offer registration/activation scheme
VS Revo Group Ltd. Vendor - May 15 at 4:49am
Cary Adams Hey Procrastinators... Don't wait any longer. Hit that "Buy Now" button for one of the best software values you'll be proud to own. There is none better.

I misspoke earlier when I said I had 2 licenses,... actually I have 3!

In addition to "normal" uninstalls I use RIP frequently to monitor test installs where sandboxing falls short.

One feature I'd like to see added is the option to backup the registry when doing logged uninstalls (RIP does this for unlogged uninstalls).
May 15 at 5:46am
VLM Cary Adams - I believe you mean "RUP", not "RIP". :):)

Terry Lee - If you mean PerfectUninstaller at perfectuninstaller.com, it gets a DISASTROUS rating on Web of Trust. Based upon that, I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.

Revo Uninstaller has been around for years. The developer is consistent, the software well-conceived and extremely stable and reliable, the user interface as close to perfect as I suppose it can be, and the support superb. By "superb", I don't just mean timely and accurate. I mean, for example, that the developer has sometimes whipped up a customized configuration file or the just to make Revo work with this or that other tool that was not properly implemented in some respect. (Think Windoze Explorer. :)

The developer does NOT whip out a new, useless version each year; major upgrades really are major upgrades, and there have been only two of these in the history of this product. VERY fair, VERY reasonable.

As others have commented, IMO there simply is no better tool for this job, and again IMO, given the silliness of Microsoft's Add/Remove Programs "tool", this one is a "must have".

For those who already have a license, the current upgrade price is a bit better than this BDJ price. But for those buying for the first time, this is a great opportunity.
May 15 at 7:50am
Alexander Deliyannis Vasil, I've read more than enough recommendations to convince me that the program is worth registering, but I have a very practical issue: my main PC is a notebook which I use either as stand-alone or hooked up to a big monitor thanks to this http://www.fujitsu.com/ft...prR07.html

I've had serious problems with Machine-ID activation procedures before, because each time I connect or disconnect the port replicator, the software thinks I have installed it in a new machine. Do you expect the same to happen with Revo?

I guess I could arrange it so that I only use the program in one of the two modes (connected or disconnected) since it's not as if I would need it on a daily basis. But if there's a more convenient solution I'd like to hear about it.
May 15 at 3:14pm
Vasil Georgiev Hi Alexander, I think you should not have problem with that USB-Port Replicator, but just in case it is better to register the program when that device is no connected and the I think you should be able to use it without problems connected or not.
VS Revo Group Ltd. Vendor - May 15 at 9:25pm
Alexander Deliyannis Vasil, thanks; I purchased the software and will register it as you suggest.
May 16 at 12:07am
Terry Lee Hi VLM :)

I've RevoU_Pro, yourUnist.Pro and PerfectUnist. in my machine!

Still I trust PerfectUninstaller coz in my mind it's a Best of all those!

Please and tell me What's wrong with that? I mean in PerfectUninstal!

Do you have your own experience about that?

Maybe it's too Strong!

So, not any bad for you :)
May 16 at 8:17am
VLM Terry Lee - Hi! I only reported on the WoT (Web of Trust) rating for Perfect Uninstaller. I have not used the program. I am very happy with Revo, and I am very happy to hear that you are very happy with Perfect Uninstaller.

Isn't a free and open marketplace wonderful!
