It is very common that there are programs that we install, either willingly or inadvertently, that we are later unable to uninstall.

One of the most frequent causes in which this event occurs is when we get ready and to delete a program we go directly to the Program Files folder and delete the folder associated with the program itself.

We should not do this in any case, since if we go to the list of programs later, it will surely continue to appear on it. And the most frustrating thing is that we will no longer have the possibility of deleting the other files associated with this program, such as registry entries and other crap that accumulates.

In addition, when we go to uninstall it, we can also do two things. Create a restore point to revert changes and delete all residual files.

We recommend activating this last option.

Uninstall Windows applications

The most interesting thing of all is that we also have an option in the side menu to uninstall applications that come natively in Windows 10. We were referring to those useless Microsoft Store.

The procedure is exactly the same as in the previous method.

Uninstall a program you don't want to uninstall with CCleaner

Another of the great acquaintances is the CCleaner program, it will have its bad and good things, but the truth is that the work of uninstalling programs does it perfectly.

It is free and we can download it from its official website.

The installation process has no hidden secrets. As always we will be watching for adware and little else. The interface that we find is more complete than the previous program since CCleaner allows us to do many more things on our system.

To uninstall a program we will have to go to the section of the side area "Tools" or "Tools". Then we must go to the subsection "Uninstall" or "uninstall". Here we will be shown the entire list of programs that are on our computer.

As in the previous program, we can also uninstall installed programs from the Microsoft Store.

All we have to do is select the program and click on the button in the right area of ​​"uninstall" or "uninstall"

It is up to each one to investigate other possible tools of these programs, especially CCleaner. Although they are basically the same ones that Windows has, but here they are presented together.
