The standard uninstall feature, found in Windows, is not an effective tool to remove a program. It will always leave behind temporary files, Registry keys and other useless data. It may be harmless at first, but trace data can pile up in time and slow down your machine. With Cleanse Uninstaller Pro you can remove any files left behind by a program. The software also features some useful tools which will help in keeping your computer clean.

In order to install the software, you will need to have Microsoft .NET Framework 3 installed. If you do not have it, the setup wizard can install it automatically. Overall, the whole process should not take more than a minute or two.

Cleanse Uninstaller's features can be accessed via navigation tabs, found on the top side of the interface. The first one is the actual uninstaller which works almost the same way as the one found in Windows. The differences are that you can find more options, placed on a toolbar and the list of programs has its own tabs. These tabs will display different program categories, like general, broken system or hidden. The options included on the toolbar can be used to back up or restore your Registry, restore the system or perform a force uninstall task which can be used if a program can't be uninstalled due to corrupt data. Uninstalling a program is done automatically in three steps. First, it will run the program's original uninstall feature, then it will scan the Registry for left over entries and finally, it will scan your hard drive for trace files. When all these steps are complete, a list of the findings will be displayed and you can select which of the items you want deleted.

The second navigation tab features a startup manager. This will display a list of the programs which will launch automatically on system startup. If you want to disable one, you only need to delete its entry on this list. Besides the delete button, the toolbar contains other options such as refreshing the list, running one of the listed programs or searching for it on Google. When a file is deleted, the physical data will still remain on the disk. That is why Cleanse Uninstaller also features a file burner which will delete files and overwrite them multiple times. After adding the target files to a list, you can select how many times you want to overwrite the file and then click on the Start Delete button on the toolbar.

There are two other ways to keep your system clean. The software's junk finder will scan a selected drive for .bak, .tmp or empty files. After a fast and effective scan, the results will be listed on the right side of the window and you can erase all the findings by clicking on a toolbar button. A simpler cleanup feature can be found under the last navigation tab. This will delete Registry items, such as typed URLs, recent documents, stream history and more. It can also delete files like IE cache, history, cookies and others. These can be selected via check boxes and erasing them requires clicking on the Start Cleanup button on the toolbar.

Pros

After uninstalling a program, Cleanse Uninstaller Pro will immediately delete all trace data left behind by that program. Besides this, it offers other effective features which will help keep your system clean.

Cons

Some of the text will run off the interface and it can't be seen even if you run the program in full screen mode. Uninstalling a program is not enough to keep your hard drive clean. Cleanse Uninstaller Pro will help you get rid of any useless data. This way, you can save disk space and keep your computer running smoothly.
