The honest complete uninstaller for Windows

Uninstall it. Then clear what it left behind. Backed up. Undoable. Ad-free.

Vow Uninstaller runs the program's own uninstaller, then finds the leftover folders, registry keys, services, scheduled tasks, startup entries and shortcuts. You see every item and why it was found before anything goes, and one click puts it all back. No ads, no upsell pop-ups, nothing bundled.

The problem

Uninstallers are where the bundleware hides

You wanted one program gone. You got a browser offer, an "optimiser" and a pop-up asking you to go Pro, and the leftovers are still there.

Bundled extras

"Free" uninstallers whose installers bring a browser, a toolbar or a "PC optimiser" of their own. The irony writes itself.

Upsell pop-ups

Every scan ends in a nag to go Pro, and the free version keeps reminding you what it won't do.

Leftovers everywhere

Windows' own uninstall leaves folders, registry keys, services, scheduled tasks and startup entries behind, program after program.

Scans that break things

Over-eager cleaners delete shared files and keys that other programs still need, with no way back.

A yearly fee to delete things

Pro versions that renew every year, for a job you do a few times a month.

Programs that won't leave

A missing or broken uninstaller leaves a program stuck in the list, and Windows just shows an error.

Vow Uninstaller fixes all of it.

How it works

Uninstall. Review. Gone.

The program's own uninstaller, then a careful sweep for everything it left behind, with every step undoable.

  1. 01

    Pick a program

    Every desktop program and Store app is listed in about a second, with icons, real sizes and install dates. Double-click one, or drop its shortcut onto the window.

    Its own uninstaller runs

    Vow runs the program's own uninstaller, or a silent one if you prefer, and waits until it and every helper it starts have finished.

    Review, remove, undo

    Each leftover shows why it was found and how sure the scan is; only the sure ones are ticked. Everything removed is backed up, with Undo one click away.

Features

Thorough where it counts, careful where it matters

For anyone who wants a program gone for good, without risking the programs they keep.

Finds what's left behind

Folders, registry keys, services, scheduled tasks, startup entries, shortcuts and firewall rules, scanned automatically after every uninstall.

Every item explained

Each leftover says why it was found and how sure the scan is: Sure, Very likely, Maybe or Unsure. Only the sure ones are ticked.

Never touches what others use

Anything another installed program uses, shared publisher folders and Windows' own folders and keys are never offered, and are checked again before every deletion.

Backed up, one-click undo

Registry items are saved to .reg files first and files go to the Recycle Bin, so Undo in History brings them all back.

Restore point first

A System Restore point is made before any leftovers that need administrator rights are removed.

Store apps too

Microsoft Store and Windows apps sit in the same list as desktop programs, and are removed for your account.

Silent uninstall

Skip the program's questions where its installer allows it: MSI, Inno Setup, NSIS, WiX and Squirrel.

Clean up old traces

Find shortcuts, startup entries and scheduled tasks that point at programs long gone, plus empty folders and broken list entries.

Forced uninstall

Uninstaller missing or broken? Remove the program's folder, list entry, Windows Installer registration and everything pointing into it.

Batch uninstall

Tick several programs and remove them one after another, silently where possible, then clean up after all of them in one scan.

Light & dark theme

Easy on the eyes, day or night.

Uninstaller comes with a crisp light theme and a calm dark theme. Switch with one click, or let it follow your Windows setting by itself. It remembers your choice.

  • LightClear and bright for daytime and busy offices
  • DarkGentle on tired eyes late at night

Step-by-step guide

How to uninstall a program completely on Windows

Remove a program and everything it left behind, step by step, with an undo at the end.

Step 1: get it free
  1. Download and open Vow Uninstaller

    Install it free (no administrator rights needed), or use the portable version. Every program and Store app is listed within about a second.

  2. Find the program

    Search with Ctrl+F, filter by Desktop, Store, Recent, Large or Broken, or sort by size to see what's taking up space. You can also drop a program's shortcut, .exe or folder onto the window.

  3. Press Uninstall

    Double-click the program, press Delete or click Uninstall. Its own uninstaller runs (answer its questions, or tick Silent), and Vow waits until it has completely finished.

  4. Review the leftovers

    The scan runs by itself. Leftovers are grouped into files and folders, shortcuts, registry, services, tasks and startup, and firewall rules, each with its reason and confidence. Only Sure and Very likely items are ticked.

  5. Remove them, with an undo

    Press Remove. Registry items are backed up to .reg files first, files go to the Recycle Bin, and files in use are deleted at the next restart. Changed your mind? Undo is right there, and in History.

FAQ

Questions about Uninstaller

Is Vow Uninstaller free?

Yes. Every standard uninstall and every leftover scan is free with no limit, and you can clean up the leftovers of 3 apps a day for free. There are no ads and no upsell pop-ups. Unlimited, a one-time $4.95 USD payment, adds unlimited clean-up, forced uninstall and batch uninstall.

Can it delete something I still need?

It is built not to. Anything another installed program uses, shared publisher folders and keys, Windows' own folders and registry keys, and well-known folders like Program Files and Documents are never offered, and the same check runs again before every deletion. Only items it is sure about are ticked, and everything removed is backed up so you can undo it.

How does Undo work?

Registry items are exported to .reg files before they are deleted (no backup, no delete), files go to the Recycle Bin, and services, scheduled tasks and firewall rules are backed up too. One click in the summary or in History puts the leftovers back. The program itself needs its installer to come back.

What leftovers does it find?

Folders and files, shortcuts, registry keys, services, scheduled tasks, startup entries, Run-box entries and firewall rules. Choose Safe, Balanced (the default) or Deep; Deep also checks file-type handlers and COM classes that point into the program's folder.

What if a program won't uninstall?

If its uninstaller fails or is cancelled, the program keeps its folder and nothing is ticked, and you can run the uninstaller again. With Unlimited, Force uninstall removes a program whose uninstaller is missing or broken: its folder, list entry, Windows Installer registration and everything that points into the folder.

How is it different from Revo Uninstaller or IObit Uninstaller?

It does what their free versions do (uninstall, leftover scan, Store apps, export, drag-and-drop) and adds what most uninstallers only sell: backups with one-click undo, a traces scan, restore points, a reason and confidence for every leftover, and silent uninstall. There are no upsell pop-ups or bundled offers, and Unlimited is $4.95 once instead of a yearly subscription. It does not monitor new installs in real time.

Does it need administrator rights?

No, it runs as a normal user. Uninstallers ask for permission themselves when they need it, and removing leftovers from protected places such as Program Files or system services takes one Windows prompt per clean-up. Items in your own profile are removed without a prompt.

Is it safe to install?

Yes. It is made and published by XTO Pty Ltd, an Australian company. There are no ads, no bundled offers and no account, it needs no administrator rights, nothing is uploaded, and, fittingly, it uninstalls cleanly from Windows Settings.
