View allBulk Crap Uninstaller was added to AlternativeTo by realnabarl on Aug 30, 2015 and this page was last updated Dec 18, 2020. Bulk Crap Uninstaller is sometimes referred to as BCUninstaller.
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!

Open source and portable, really powerfull alternative to top tier uninstallers.
This is probably the best free uninstall utility. It has several features that advanced users might be interested in such as certificate verification, export data, CLI support and crowd-sourced rating info for the apps that you have currently installed.
Ultimate software for uninstallation under Windows platform!
Even don't know what to say about, there's everything what popular commercial solutions has and even more. Interface is very informative, you even see graphical visualization of disk space taken by applications! Before uninstallation, the software can inform you about related applications and third-party programs which related with one which will be uninstalled. It works like a charm!
But you should be careful, because the software can find even some "handmade" installers and recognize them as unregistered installed software, but color highlighting and quick tips will orient you quickly.
free and open source nice but GUI meybe litlle bit complited for new users.
