Most modern users often think that the means of removing installed applications built into Windows or mobile operating systems do not work as they would like, leaving a huge amount of all kinds of computer garbage in the form of directories, files or registry keys after uninstalling programs. However, some of these residues can be blocked by the system, making it virtually impossible to get rid of them. Sometimes, however, they can be deleted when the system is rebooted, but in practice they are still dead weight in the system.
It is believed that the optimal means for removing any applications, including those built directly into the shell of the operating system, are programs called uninstallers. One of the most striking powerful representatives of applications of this class is the notorious software product called Revo Uninstaller. How to use this application in practical terms, and then we'll see. But first, let's briefly dwell on the main features of this package and some nuances related to downloading the installation distribution, installing the program and the possibility of using a professional version without mandatory activation, if you need such a modification toolkit in daily work.
What is the Revo Uninstaller program, and why is it needed?
As already understood, the described software product belongs to the category of uninstaller applications that allow you to remove all the main and residual components of programs almost completely automatically. At the same time, this application (depending on the installed version) can be used in cases where users for some reason want to get rid of system applets that are “wired” into the operating system shell. In addition, the Revo Uninstaller program, like its closest analogue of iObit Uninstaller, is designed in such a way that when you try to uninstall an applet, it completely ignores requests for administrator privileges and is excluded from the mandatory verification list by the UAC account control service. Thus, any user, even without being a computer administrator, can delete an unnecessary application without the appropriate access rights to change the system configuration.
Key features of the application: brief information
We’ll dwell on how to use Revo Uninstaller a bit later, and now let's look at the main features of the standard application, which can be downloaded for free, and in the form of modified versions of PRO that have several more tools at their disposal.

However, not far from it, in its capabilities, it also went to the stationary version of PRO. An ordinary user can also use the free package, however, if you need to uninstall the built-in components or browser extensions, you will not be able to remove them.
Download distribution and install the program
Finally, let's move on to practical steps. Speaking about how to use Revo Uninstaller PRO 3.2.1 or any other version of this line, we start directly by choosing the preferred version.
