Comments and Reviews

   
 Post comment/review
Comment summary: Bulk Crap Uninstaller receives praise for being a powerful, open-source, and feature-rich tool that effectively uninstalls applications and removes residual data. While users commend its capability to uninstall multiple programs simultaneously and its comprehensive cleaning process, some find its interface complex and startup slow. Issues like inaccurate leftover cleanup and redundant prompts are noted. Despite minor drawbacks, it's regarded as an excellent free alternative with advanced features.

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.

It just works. Finally removed those pesky ghost entries of apps that were uninstalled years ago.

I have been using Revo Unin and this is the best opensource alternative. But, comparing these programs, i find Revo more handy. -With BCUnin I couldn't delete some programs like ESET and once it deleted some files not related to any program. -Sometimes it detects installers as programs. -It doesn't have that user-friendly interface. -Cleaning takes more time and it's buggy sometimes. But if you're searching open source soft, this is the best solution.

It's an excellent uninstaller program that it does its purpose well. I can only appreciate it and recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to have leftovers after uninstalling various software. It is a worthy program.
