“Superb free uninstaller for programs you can't remove”

One thing that I've always thought is woefully inadequate in Windows is the Add/Remove Program console in the Control Panel.

Until now, I'd been using CCleaner to remove programs simply because I find it much easier to navigate what's on my system than using Windows default tool. However, Revo Uninstaller has changed all that. Revo Uninstaller is definitely the best uninstaller I've ever used on Windows and allows you to remove even the most stubborn programs.

Using Revo Uninstaller is very simple. As soon as its installed, the main interface displays which programs are installed. Simply select the one you want to remove and Revo proceeds to perform a very through removal process including making a backup point in case anything goes wrong or it removes something you don't want it to.

Revo delves deep into your Registry to remove all entries and other temporary files that most other uninstallers leave behind. At each step, Revo Uniinstaller prompts you to select which files you want to remove. This was the only thing I found a little unintuitive first time round because I selected everything and then clicked "Next" but what you're supposed to do is select everything, click "Delete" to remove them, and then "Next". Once you've done it once though, it's very clear how the procedure works.

There is a Pro version of Revo Uninstaller although the free version is so powerful that I can't see any real need to upgrade to it unless you've simply been unable to remove a program with the free version.

There is very little to fault with Revo Uninstaller. I'd recommend using it to remove all of your programs from now on because it removes all those nasty little files that frequently get left behind.
 
Pros 

Incredibly thorough uninstallations
Delves deep into your registry and temp folders
Very easy to use
 
Cons 
 
Deletion of files stage a bit confusing first time round
