Overview
Most uninstallers leave a mess. Folders under the profile, service registrations, scheduled tasks, registry keys and driver entries survive the removal and accumulate until a machine feels tired. Revo runs the application's own uninstaller first, then scans for everything it did not clean up and offers to remove that too.
The scan runs at three depths. The safe pass removes only what is clearly associated, the moderate pass extends into common leftover locations, and the advanced pass digs through the registry and the file system thoroughly enough that it needs to be read before confirming. Everything found is listed with a checkbox, and a restore point is written before anything is deleted.
The hunter mode is the feature people keep it for. Drag a target onto a running window, a tray icon or a desktop shortcut and it identifies the application behind it, which finally answers the question of what is running when there is no entry in the installed programs list. Alongside that sit tools for startup entries, browser extensions, junk files, and a forced uninstall that removes traces of software whose uninstaller is already broken or gone.
What it does well
Leftover scanning
Runs the normal uninstaller, then finds and removes the files, folders and registry entries it left behind, at three selectable depths.
Hunter mode
Identify the application behind a window, a tray icon or a shortcut by dragging a target onto it.
Forced uninstall
Remove traces of software whose own uninstaller is missing or already broken, by name and install path.
Real time install monitor
Log what a new installation writes so it can be reversed exactly later, rather than guessed at.
Maintenance tools
Startup manager, browser extension manager, junk file cleaner, history cleaner and a secure file deleter.

Before you start
Read the advanced scan results before confirming, it is thorough enough to remove something shared.
The install monitor has to be running before an installation to log it, it cannot reconstruct one afterwards.
A restore point is written by default. Leave that on.
Questions about this title
What does it do that the control panel does not?
It removes the leftovers. The control panel runs the uninstaller and stops there.
Is the advanced scan risky?
It is thorough. Read the list before confirming, and keep the restore point.
Can it remove something already broken?
Yes, forced uninstall works from a name and path without needing the original uninstaller.
Is there a portable build?
Yes, it is in the archive and is the right choice for service work.
About this listing
This entry was checked on a clean install of Windows 7 / 8 / 10 / 11 before it was published, and it is rechecked whenever the package is rebuilt. The figures on this page come from the site index rather than from the publisher, so the download count is what people here have actually pulled.
If a mirror stops answering, use the contact form and it gets replaced. Reports about a specific title are handled faster than general messages because they name the file, the mirror and the point at which the transfer stopped.
Requests for a different version, a different language build or an older release go on the requests page. Older versions of a title are usually still held even when only the current one is listed.
