Android has always fallen short of a better app management system when it comes to uninstalling apps. Sure you can do that from the system settings, or from the app drawer as well in case of Android 4.0 and higher. Also, many third-party launchers allow you a quick way of uninstalling apps from their icons, but what if you want to uninstall multiple apps in one go? There are apps available on the Play Store for batch uninstalling, but none offer the simplicity and additional features that GO App Uninstaller brings to the table. In addition to uninstalling user apps, the app can also delete system apps on rooted devices. With no complicated settings to configure, Go App Uninstaller is simple and easy to use for anyone.

Uninstall Apps, Corrupt Programs, Native Windows Utilities & Drivers With Any Uninstaller

With every new software installation, a lot of registry values, shortcuts and other elements are created and added to your computer. Last week, we covered a small tool called Windows Uninstaller that allows you to uninstall applications easily from the context menu. However, it uses the native uninstall utility of Windows, which does not always remove everything associated with the apps, leaving residue such as folders, shortcuts, registry keys and at times, context menu entries. Moreover, that utility only allows you to uninstall third-party applications, and you cannot use it for uninstalling drivers or system components. Today, we have an application for you called Any Uninstaller that takes care of all these problems by allowing you to uninstall all software and drivers, even including native Windows applications such as Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, etc. and cleaning their leftovers from registry. You can use the tool to uninstall, modify or repair applications depending on your requirements. Read More

Free apps are a great way to get more out of your computer without spending a dime. Even though paid applications often contain more features, there are a lot of free apps that surpass them in usability. However, free software often comes bundled with other free software, such as unnecessary browser toolbars and programs. Previously, we have covered some very useful applications that allow you to remove unwanted software from your computer, such as SlimComputer and Toolbar Cleaner. Should I Remove It? is another Windows application that performs the same function, but in a different manner. Instead of automatically deleting the software, it analyzes your installed programs and provides you suggestions regarding the ones you can safely remove. Read More

Here at AddictiveTips, we try to bring our readers several application reviews each day. Before writing the post, we test the application in question extensively to make sure that whatever we are writing depicts the truth about the tool in question. The process involves installing a number of apps, testing them, and then picking out the best ones for the day to share with our readers. By the end of the day, all this ends up in a lot of unneeded software installed on the system, adding to the clutter and making the computer run slower. The default Windows uninstall utility allows you to uninstall applications from your computer, but you have to open the dialog box and look through the list of installed application before you uninstall them. We have covered some very useful uninstallation utilities such as Revo Uninstaller that includes additional clean-up tools, and Geek Uninstaller that removes all residue along with the application, including registry entries and context menu integrations. However, today we present you a simpler solution called Windows Uninstaller that lets you perform the task right from the context menu of installed applications, without ever opening another dialog box.

Easily Remove A Second Windows Installation With NanWick Uninstaller

Our computers allow us to dual boot them with multiple operating systems. Windows itself offers the same option, meaning you can install Windows 8 along with Windows 7, and keep both the operating systems intact. Dual-booting a system has several advantages; you can test drive a preview a major update of an OS (Windows 8 for instance) or try out an entirely different OS (like Ubuntu) to get an overview of the intended changes and features before making the choice of actually switching to it. The only ordeal however, is that there isn’t really any easy way to cleanly remove an installed operating system, and doing so anyway by formatting its partition often leaves you with issues in the bootloader menu. Previously, we covered an in depth guide detailing the procedure to remove Windows 8 Consumer Preview from dual boot systems and how to get rid of the boot entry via the BCDEdit command. Though if you are looking for a simpler method to do the same, then give NanWick Windows Uninstaller a shot. Not only does it uninstalls the selected operating system from your machine, but it also erases the boot entry of the non-required OS. Read More

Windows 8 comes packed with a slew of new feature additions and enhanced user interface, but a lot of things have also been excluded from the latest release. With the release of Windows 8 looming on the horizon, we at AddictiveTips are trying to give you a preview of everything it will offer to the users. As most of us already know, the Start Orb has been replaced by the Start Screen, and instead of Desktop, the Start Screen is the main workspace that hosts all the installed applications. Whenever you install an application, instead of a shortcut on the desktop, a tile is created on the Start Screen that allows you to quickly launch it. In Windows 8, you can uninstall an app in multiple ways. The first method involves using Control Panel > Add & Remove Programs applet, but the second one lets you uninstall an app directly from the Start Screen. In this post, we will explain how you how can prevent your PC account holders from uninstalling Windows 8 UI based apps (formerly known as metro apps). Read More

Remove Programs & Their Registry Keys Using Install Monitor

When you install an application, a lot of registry values are created and added to your system along with the installation files. These registry values do not always get removed when you uninstall the application. For instance, if you download and install a software which provides you with context menu support, the context menu entries are stored in the registry keys, and when you uninstall the application, sometimes they do not get uninstalled with the application. Previously, we have reviewed Uberstaller, an application for Windows which not only works as an uninstaller but also scans and removes all traces of the software from the hard disk, but it does not show you where the relevant registry keys of an application are placed. Today we have another uninstaller for you called Install Monitor that allows you to see the impact that installing an application has on your system and fully remove all the files and registry keys while uninstalling it. Read on to find out more about Install Monitor. Read More

There might not be an untethered jailbreak available for iOS 5 just yet, but the iOS community has a lot of avid jailbreak users who have opted to go for a tethered jailbreak to get access to the Cydia store and its tweaks. The tweaks offered by Cydia might not always be big ones, but at times, it's the small tweak s that turn out to be pretty useful, as is the case with two newly released jailbreak tweaks named confirm launch iOS 5 and successful uninstall. One tweak displays a confirmation pop-up whenever you try to launch an app from your Springboard, while the latter displays a notification once an app has been uninstalled successfully. Confirm launch is really useful for people who are sick of accidentally launching apps on their iPhone. Even if you are in the habit of putting your iPhone in lock screen as soon as you are done using it, there are still times when you wish your phone didn't launch apps so easily. Anyone who has got Garage Band installed on their iDevice knows how difficult things can get if your hand inadvertently brushes against Apple's amazingly thorough and heavy musical app. That's what these tweaks are here for.
