When a user installs an application, he cannot know for how long he will need it. And when the program becomes useless, it is better to delete it, thereby freeing up disk space for installing other software. This article will discuss how to completely remove "CryptoPro CSP". In total, three ways to accomplish this task will be presented.
Method 1: standard OS tools
And we will start with how to completely remove “CryptoPro” using the standard method, which does not imply the use of additional software, on the contrary, all actions will be performed in the regular program “Programs and Components”.
- Using the Start menu, open the Control Panel window.
- In the list of all utilities that appears, click on "Programs and Features."
- In the list that appears, all the software installed on the computer, find "CryptoPro" and highlight it.
- On the top panel, click the "Delete" button.
After that, the uninstaller window will start, following the instructions of which, you can uninstall the unnecessary program without any problems.
Method 2: using the uninstall file
If for some reason the previous method of uninstallation did not suit you, or you just ran into some difficulties when executing it, then you can use the second method, which implies using the uninstall program file located in its root directory.
- Right click on the CryptoPro shortcut.
- In the menu that appears, select “File Location”.
- The Explorer file manager window will open. In it you need to find the uninstall file. Most often it is called unins000 or uninstall.
- Run this file with a double click.
As in the previous method, after performing these steps, the uninstaller window will appear. It will tell you in detail how to perform a complete removal of "CryptoPro".
Method 3: using another program
If the application is not deleted through the system utility, and you did not find the uninstall file in its directory, then it is best to resort to the help of third-party software, the main task of which is to remove other software from the computer. We will consider the program Revo Uninstaller.
- Download the program from the official site and install it on your computer.
- Launch the app.
- Click on the “Uninstall” tab.
- In the list of programs that appears, find "CryptoPro" and right-click on it.
- In the menu that appears, select the "Delete" item.
- A window will appear in which you must select the deletion mode. For complete cleaning, select “Advanced”.
- Wait for the process to delete the main program files to complete.
- After that, the process of scanning the PC for additional files will start.
- After its completion, give consent to the removal of the rest of the "garbage" left from the work of "CryptoPro".
This was the third way to completely clean the computer from an unnecessary application. As you can see, there are many ways to do this, and it is up to you to decide how to use it.
