-- installed easily; that's the best part
-- uninstalled a program
-- what was left behind: an empty program folder, registry entries
-- then used Geek Uninstaller https://geekuninstaller.com/ to find the empty program folder, and all the leftover registry entries
-- to use this program as an uninstaller: is anyone serious?
-- waste of time; uninstalled

Wanted to compare it with Revo but unable to make it run.

Seemed to install on windows 10 64bit. At the end of install I selected run now and it did not run. Tried running from desktop icon and it said already running. Looked at task manager which indicated it was running as a background app. Shut it down via task manager. Tried running from desktop icon again. Said Loading then terminated about 20 seconds later. Tried running install again and it requested to uninstall existing version which I agreed to and it appeared to uninstall. Then in trying to reinstall it informed me that the installation folder still existed which I found quite disturbing as it indicates that a "guaranteed I will uninstall everything leaving no trace program" didn't even do that to itself. Anyway on reinstall it still says Loading then terminates about 20 seconds later. Think I will unistall it using Revo and call it a day. Unless someone can tell me where I am going wrong.

Ivanovich, Hmm - What you say is true but I was not deleting a program I was uninstalling it using what I thought was a sophisticated uninstall application. In passing I'm afraid that the statement of "a (empty) folder with some files" is a contradiction in itself. Its not empty if it has some files in it? I wanted to compare it with Revo: it can seek out all related files and folders and delete them (including empty ones) as long as you don't restart your PC before it completes it analysis.

Wow, I guess that you showed me! Tried to install and it and it never ran, then turned two other giveaways from the same venfor into trial ware! Is this softorbits under another name?!? Wasted time. Frustration. Unimpressed.

Thanks guys. Revo my go to one, but always worth having a backup or two. Will look at Geek Uninstaller mentioned by Tim, unknown to me. Thing about settling on one major app happily is that one tends to ignore others as they come along. GOTD comments help to prompt trying or ignoring new ones. Small file anyway so what's to lose.
Lately Revo has failed to detect a couple offered programs (from elsewhere since GOTD ones nearly always get detected). Either had to do those with their own uninstaller or thru Windows way or long way requiring cleaning registry. Maybe DYDU Pro will find that kind. Those were shady ones anyway
