Description: Method 1: Use the uninstaller that came with the application Method 1: Use the uninstaller that came with the applicationIf the program you are trying to uninstall doesn’t exist in the uninstallers, it’s possible that the registry file of that program is removed. Fortunately, Most (not all) third-party programs and applications come with their very own uninstaller. This is an executable utility located in their root folder that is basically an uninstallation wizard – this utility can be used to uninstall the program it belongs to from the computer it is installed on. To use this method, simply:Navigate to the directory on your computer where the program or application in question is installed.For example:- the default directory for most third-party programs is X:\Program Files\(Name of application) or X:\Program Files (x86)\(Name of application), X in both directories being the letter corresponding to the partition of your computer’s hard drive that Windows 10 is installed on.Look through the contents of the directory for an executable uninstallation utility. This utility is usually named uninstaller.exe or uninstall.exe (or something similar).Once you have located the executable uninstallation utility, double-click on it to launch it.Follow the onscreen instructions all the way to the end of the uninstallation wizard, at which point the wizard will uninstall the program that you were unable to uninstall using conventional methods.Uninstalling ProcedureMethod 2: Remove the program from your computer using the Registry Editor Method 2: Remove the program from your computer using the Registry EditorEvery third-party program or application you install on your computer develops a significant presence in your computer’s Registry. If you delete all traces of an application from your computer’s Registry, you basically remove it from your computer, effectively uninstalling it. If you’re having trouble uninstalling an application via the usual methods, you can simply remove the target program from your computer using the Registry Editor. To do so, you need to:Press the Windows Logo key + R to open a Run dialog.Type regedit into the Run dialog and press Enter to launch the Registry Editor. In the left pane of the Registry Editor, navigate to the following directory: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Uninstall.In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the sub-key pertaining to the program or application you want to uninstall from your computer under the Uninstall key.Once you have located the sub-key belonging to the program or application you want to uninstall (it might not have the exact same name as the target application), right-click on it and click on Delete in the resulting context menu.Click on Yes in the resulting popup to confirm the action.Once the sub-key belonging to the target application has been successfully deleted, close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.When the computer boots up, check to see whether or not the target application has been successfully removed from your computer.Method 3: Uninstall the target application with your computer in Safe Mode Method 3: Uninstall the target application with your computer in Safe ModeIf you are having trouble uninstalling an application on Windows 10, the cause of your troubles might be some third-party interference. The best way to get rid of any and all kinds of interference on a Windows computer is to boot it into Safe Mode. While in Safe Mode, the only things allowed to run on a Windows computer are stock applications and services – even internet access and the Command Prompt and disabled in some versions of Safe Mode. You might just be able to uninstall an application you otherwise couldn’t using conventional methods while your computer is in Safe Mode. If you would like to use this method, you need to:Press the Windows Logo key + R to open a Run dialog.Type msconfig into the Run dialog and press Enter to launch the System Configuration utility.Navigate to the Boot tab of the System Configuration utility. Enable the Safe boot option under the Boot options section by checking the checkbox located directly beside it. Click on Apply and then on OK.Click on Restart in the dialog box that pops up to immediately restart your computer.When the computer boots up, it will be in Safe Mode. While the computer is in Safe Mode, use either set of steps listed and described at the very beginning of this guide to try and uninstall the target application from your computer and check to see if the uninstallation succeeds.Method 4: Use a third-party uninstallation program to uninstall the target application Method 4: Use a third-party uninstallation program to uninstall the target applicationIf all else fails and none of the methods listed and described above work for you, you can still try to uninstall the target application using a third-party uninstallation program. There are a multitude of different third-party programs for Windows 10 that are designed specifically to make it not only possible but also easier for users to uninstall applications, and Revo Uninstaller happens to be one of the very best ones. To uninstall the target application using Revo Uninstaller, you need to:Make sure the application you want to uninstall is not running in any capacity (pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc to bring up the Task Manager, locating and right-clicking on the process belonging to the target application in the Processes tab and clicking on End task in the resulting context menu should get the job done). Go and click on Free Download to download the installer for Revo Uninstaller.Once the installer for the program has been downloaded, navigate to where you saved it, locate it and double-click on it to run it.Follow the onscreen instructions and go through the installer until the program has been successfully installed.Launch Revo Uninstaller.When Revo Uninstaller opens up, it will be displaying all of the third-party applications installed on your computer. Locate the application you want to uninstall from your computer in this list and double-click on it.Click on Yes in the resulting dialog box to confirm that you indeed want to uninstall the target application.In the dialog box that opens up, Revo Uninstaller will provide you with four different Uninstall Modes that you can choose from. Built-in mode only uses the uninstaller the target application came with to try and uninstall it, Safe mode has all of Built-in mode’s features combined with light scans of the computer’s registry and hard drive for files and registry entries left behind by the target program, Moderate mode’s combines Safe mode with an extended scan for leftover files and registry entries, and Advanced mode does everything Moderate mode does with the addition of a deep and thorough scan of the Registry and hard drive for remnants left behind by the targe application. It is recommended that you select Advanced mode and click on Next.Wait for Revo Uninstaller to create a system restore point and make other arrangements, and once it is done, click on Next.Click on Uninstall.Once the uninstallation process has been completed, click on Close to close the uninstallation wizard.When Revo Uninstaller is entirely done uninstalling the target application and removing all of its files and registry entries from your computer, you can close Revo Uninstaller, restart your computer and, once it boots up, check to make sure that the target application has indeed been fully uninstalled.
