Revo Uninstaller

I have used the Pro version of the program since 2013. I purchased a lifetime license for 3 computers. This was supposed to get me free upgrades and tech support for a lifetime. The latest update is 4.0.0 and they now expect me to buy a new license for each PC for one or two years. I was not aware my lifetime was over.

I liked this program in the past until for a second time it "deep" cleaned more than it should making my windows unable to boot. The second time was especially bad because I was just uninstalling a program. Ever since I disliked the deep clean uninstall programs offer and that is why nowadays I use Geek Uninstaller. It lacks the deep clean feature and I am glad for it. Leaving some KB of traces behind or a couple or registry entries that will take up a tiny fraction in the huge hard drives we have nowadays is MUCH better than risking a deep clean that will will clean more than it should.

I have loved Revo Uninstaller for years. However with the 64 bit being pay only I can appreciate the author wanting to be paid for his effort, but $39 for one license, looking for alternatives already.

No regrets buying Portable PRO

After using Free Revo for 15+ years on 32-bit machines, PRO portable for 64-bit machines in 2016 was a logical step. Older incarnations of Free Revo did not even see 64-bit programs.

Today (2018) ... Free, Pro and Portable-Pro process 32-bit & 64 bit.
BUT Free is a crippled version of PRO
Comparison table on Revo website lists all 3 editions/versions, incl features compared.

Currently portable PRO is $34.62 ... half price.

Revo (or any uninstaller) in inexperienced hands can be disastrous. I have wiped a registry hive.
One danger area is "Found leftover Registry Items" window. By default Revo "checks" the entire path including the parent hive. Only the items in bold can be removed, you cannot be too careful.

Getting rid of leftover files is a huge space saver. The extras and links to Windows admin programs is awesome.
