How to uninstall a program in Windows 10

Uninstall a program in Windows 10

Windows 10 is the latest OS from Microsoft. There now couple of methods to uninstall a program: one is similar to previous versions of Windows (XP, 7, 8), other is new, but simple. You should know that beginning from Windows 8, there are two types of programs – Windows Apps and Programs. Both types can be removed from your system manually, although Windows Apps don’t take much space and can be useful if used correctly. For easier and thorough uninstall we recommend you several programs:

Revo Uninstaller Pro – most powerful and famous uninstaller, can find leftover files, folders, registry keys etc. Has a lot of useful tools to perform regular maintenance of your operating system. It also can uninstall programs with broken uninstallers with special “Forced Uninstall” feature. Also has less functional free version.

Free Uninstall It – our new program where we try to collect best features from our competitors on the market, focusing on powerful leftover items scan and safety. It has one huge advantage – it is FREE.

IObit Uninstaller – it deserved its place in my list for its beautiful interface and several extremely helpful tools available along with it. For example, module for removing browser add-ons and plugins – cool feature, in our age of annoying advertising, to remove toolbars, adware extensions etc.
