    Had a game that didn't have an installer and so I couldn't uninstall it. Had heard of Revo Uninstaller, but that was unfortunately a bad idea, so all hope was lost. Thankfully I stumbled across this video and this program. I am so thankful for this tutorial and the great free program. Would highly recommend to anyone. 10/10

    i cannot thank you enough for this video. I've been trying to get rid of a few things my son had inadvertently installed on his computer for a verrrrry long time. Nothing seemed to work and every tutorial I came across was either laced with it's own bullshit or way too hard for this lay(wo)man to follow. I truly appreciate the time you put into creating this tutorial!

    This helped so much! IObit is a life saver. I installed a program, then Malwarebytes detected it as malware and put an essential file quarantine. The program kept showing up in the start menu though and would not uninstall from add or remove programs. But IObit removed it no problem!

    Fucking hell, windows 10 sure took a big shit on it's reputation of usability and easy customization. There are files I'm locked out of in C: *even as an administrator*, drivers/programs that refuse to uninstall, poor compatibility with a vast amount of programs as much as a YEAR AND A HALF LATER, and of course the endless issues with user privacy, etc. Really upsetting. If I had a dollar for every time windows 10 fucked something on my computer up I could almost afford an even shittier mac. A+ Microsoft.

    How to UNINSTALL THING YOU CAN'T UNINSTALL on PC
    1. Go to 'Control Panel'
    2. Click 'Programs'
    3. Click 'Programs and Features'
    4. Search files or anything you want to uninstall.
    I hope this help you guys. I think you guys need to open 'Task Manager' first. Then delete the file.
