Your Uninstaller can uninstall any application as well as repair uninstalls that have failed.

Your Uninstaller is a suite of utilities that can find a place in any Windows user’s toolbox. The core purpose of the tool is to uninstall applications. Of course, the Windows OS has this feature built-in, but the process isn’t always perfect and sometimes applications don’t play nice. That’s where Your Uninstaller comes in, and it can be used before or after the fact.

One way that Your Uninstaller really shines is speed. It’s fast! It’s often just as fast as the built-in Windows process, and while that may not seem impressive at face value, it is when you consider that Your Uninstaller takes additional steps: It scans the Windows registry to eliminate abandoned entries, and it scans disk drives to delete folders and files left behind by the now-gone program.

The best way to use Your Uninstaller is to use it as the first option when you want to uninstall a program. However, many users turn to this program when an uninstall has failed or become corrupted or when the uninstall has been blocked intentionally or due to a bug. After the fact, the program will trace the uninstall and eliminate any leftover elements, and the end result is the same as if Your Uninstaller has initiated the uninstall.

Your Uninstaller can also force installs. That may seem unusual, but the truth is that uninstalls can be blocked purposefully and accidentally for a wide range of reasons. Whatever those causes or reasons are, this program can sidestep those mechanisms and eliminate all traces of the program.

Your Uninstaller doesn’t end with its uninstall mechanism. It features a Startup Manager you can use to control which programs load with Windows. It has a Start Menu Manager, a Disk Cleaner and an Internet Traces Eraser. It also provides a sophisticated overview of installed applications than can group programs, sort them by size, change icons, add comments, lock installations and much more.

Your Uninstaller fully supports Windows 10. It retains full support for Windows 8 and 7 too as well as all 32-bit and 64-bit versions. It supports memory caching and other advanced technologies, and has an effective user interface that may be just a tad outdated for Windows 10 standards.

There’s nothing to dislike about Your Uninstaller. It does what it sets out to do very well. It’s worth noting, however, that it isn’t freeware. It does have a shareware version that’s good for 21 days and limits you to two uninstalls per session. Nevertheless, it works fully in shareware mode on a per-uninstall basis and should give a good sense of whether the program is worth it for you.

Your Uninstaller can help you remove unwanted programs from your Windows PC.

Your Uninstaller, which is stylized “Your Uninstaller!” by the developer, is a suite of tools for Windows and the primary tool included is an uninstaller that can remove all traces of a program from your computer. This serves as an alternative to the built-in Windows uninstaller. It provides you a more user-friendly view of installed software, which you can customize, and you can set Your Uninstaller to use the Windows uninstall engine or its own more-aggressive uninstall engine, which it uses by default.

Windows uninstall works fine most of the time; however, sometimes it’s unable to uninstall a program or leaves behind files. Your Uninstaller, on the other hand, can uninstall any program, and that includes programs that Windows failed to uninstall or uninstalled but botched the process. Your Uninstaller also performs thorough deletions. It scans the registry for entries associated with the uninstalled program and deletes them. It also scans the folders associated with an uninstalled program and gives you the option to delete, move, or ignore any files and folders that were left behind.

Your Uninstaller can work after the fact and even has a Hunter Mode that you can use to scan your computer and discover uninstalls that went bad or left behind remnants. There’s an AutoFix mechanism for installs that Windows corrupted as well as a manual search tool. There’s a Quick Uninstall option, and there’s also an Advanced Uninstall option, which gives you complete control.

This program is not just an uninstaller but a suite of tools. There’s a disk cleaner, which can eliminate unused files, and a trace eraser, which is what the uninstaller uses to nab remnants. Your Uninstaller also offers a file shredder, which can permanently deleted files; a startup manager, which can dictate what programs load with Windows; a start menu organizer, which cleans unneeded shortcuts; and Windows Tools, which provides a single access point of access to many built-in Windows tools.

Your Uninstaller isn’t free to use but rather is provided as a 21-day trial. At the end of that trial period, you must upgrade by paying for the software or lose access to all features. Another issue with Your Uninstaller is that it doesn’t integrate Windows Restore functionality. It does have a Safe Mode that limits aggressiveness of the application, but like many similar programs, it should automatically create a system restore point each time you use the program to configure settings or perform deletions.

Pros

  • Alternative to the built-in Windows uninstaller
  • Performs thorough deletions of installed programs
  • Scans the registry and installation folders

Cons

  • Trial limited
