Bulk Crap Uninstaller 'sees' almost every installed app or software on your computer, so you will be able to uninstall it. (If BCU can't identify a program, the program itself may be dodgy. You may want to delete that item manually.) BCU identfied programs that Geek Uninstaller couldn't even see. I ended up getting rid of Geek, and just stick to using BCU. Plus, it is Free and Open Source ‒ what more could you want?

I've had it for several years and I'm more than satisfied with it. It effectively detects and uninstalls software, including any folders that may have been created by it.
I installed it after using Adobe Creative during an internship because I couldn't find any way to get rid of it. And following an online article (before the era of AI) on the top open source software, which included TreeSize. I'm not disappointed.
It's a shame that it's only available on Windows and not Linux for us novices...

What is Bulk Crap Uninstaller?
Bulk Crap Uninstaller (BCUninstaller) is a freeware program uninstaller that enables easy removal of multiple applications with minimal user interaction. It identifies a wide variety of applications and games, including portable and unregistered ones, and can clean up residual files and enforce uninstallation. It also allows for automated uninstalls based on predefined lists.
BCUninstaller detects, manages, and silently uninstalls hidden or protected registered applications, applications with defective or missing uninstallers, and portable applications. It supports uninstallation of Chocolatey packages, Oculus games/apps, Steam games/apps, Windows Features, Windows Store apps, and Windows Updates.
The software can uninstall multiple applications in one batch, handle simultaneous uninstalls to speed up the process, and manage crashing and hanging uninstallers. It also has a feature to prevent collisions during multiple uninstalls.
Additional features include locating and removing leftovers after uninstallation, cleaning Program Files directories from unused or empty folders, and manually uninstalling any application. It also includes a startup manager, application ratings, and extensive data collection and display about applications, which can be browsed, filtered, and exported by the user. The software supports filtering with common presets or based on custom rules with Regex support. It verifies uninstaller certificates and offers high configurability. BCUninstaller can execute user-specified commands before and after uninstalling and is fully portable, saving settings to a single file.

It works, but the left over clean up is very inaccurate, and it takes several minutes to initialize. The names on programs are often incorrect, and there are many redundant prompts, it also rechecks everything upon task completion, which takes a long time. Much of the freemium uninstallers are better[at the task]; but they often come with bundleware/adware. 3 stars for quality, but a bonus for being open source.

Five stars for such an awesome review. And I mean that this is how reviews should be written. I wish this review could be pinned somewhere on this website as a template for all those one-line reviews which add nothing except increment the reviews count.
Great going, Chaython. Cheers!
It is very buggy, slow and overbloated (about 1300 files in portable version!!!). BulkCrap had attempted to delete the entire folder of VST plugins from my HDD (assuming a tiny 3MB VST synth for a big 6GB uninstall assembly!) - be extremely careful and double check, while testing it. I recommend freeware GEEK uninstaller - it is very fast and bugless.

Fully satisfied. I had installed iobit uninstaller which proved to be crap. It slowed down my system. It won't even get uninstalled when I tried to remove it. Then I installed Bulk Crap. Using the option of Advanced Options, I could remove iobit completely.
Came here to second this. IOBit programs are intrusive as hell with the constant nagging to upgrade to Premium, plus they keep trying to introduce bundleware to your computer! I installed BCU, and used it to completely remove all the crap from IOBit. Free and Open Source ‒ what more could you want?
cannot recommend it enough. i would hope that you would at least check the file name and directory of the stuff you're uninstalling, but from other reviews, it's clear that a suprising amount don't.
This is the best program I’ve ever used.
