Uninstall programs with the best uninstallers of 2023
These tools help to uninstall programs that are no longer needed.
David FischerWhen you install programs on your computer they write data in many different folders, create shortcuts and so on. You lose oversight and unused folders and data clutter your storage. This does not only steal valuable storage space, the huge data salad can make the search process for files unnecessarily difficult. This is where Uninstallers come into play. These are programs, which are often free, that help you as a user to fight the clutter.
Uninstallers do different things when cleaning up on your computer. Some analyze the complete computer and track down all parts of the program data. Others take snapshots of the system before a program is installed. If the user deletes a program, the uninstaller compares the system snapshots before and after to filter all program components left over.
