Sometimes it is necessary to remove a recently installed program, but when searching for an uninstaller, this file may not appear. In this case, it is recommended to delete the program files and clean the system registry.
Necessary
Regedit software
Instructions
Step 1
Regedit is a registry editor built into the operating system. The name is an abbreviation for the phrase Registry edit. This program serves to organize all registry keys, create and delete them. When uninstalling the program, you need to clear the registry from unnecessary keys that were previously used by the operating system.
Step 2
Before editing the registry files, you must delete the folder with the program. Open the Program Files directory, select the required directory and press the Delete key to move to the "Trash" or Shift + Delete to completely delete from the hard disk.
Step 3
Now go to Registry Editor. Click the Start menu and select Run, or press the Win + R key combination. In the window that opens, move the cursor focus to an empty field and type regedit, and then press Enter.
Step 4
It should be said that editing registry files by a beginner is dangerous, so it is better to create a backup copy. Click the top menu "File" and select "Export". In the window that opens, check the box next to the "Entire registry" line, enter the file name and click the "Save" button.
Step 5
Registry files can be exported using the command line. The command line is usually launched through the "Start" menu, the "Standard Programs" section. In the window, enter the regedit / E d: export.reg command and press Enter. With this command, you copy the export.reg registry file to the root directory of the "D:" drive.
Step 6
To search for keys left by the program itself, you must click the top menu "Edit" and select "Find". In the window that appears, enter the name of the program or the company that distributes it. Press Enter or F2 to start the search operation.
Step 7
Found keys can be deleted by highlighting and pressing the Delete key. Then you need to close the registry editor and restart your computer. Your computer is now clean of the remote program.
