Geek Uninstaller is a lightweight yet powerful application designed to help users remove unwanted software from their Windows PCs. Unlike the default Windows uninstallation utility, this tool not only removes programs but also cleans up leftover files and registry entries that often clutter the system after standard uninstallation.

It's an ideal tool for users who want a more thorough uninstallation process with minimal fuss, all packed into a user-friendly interface.

The software is available in both free and paid versions. The free version caters to everyday users who simply need to uninstall programs and eliminate leftovers, while the paid Pro version offers advanced features such as forced uninstallation, batch removal, and support for managing system apps.

Whether you're dealing with a stubborn app that won’t uninstall through traditional methods or just maintaining your PC, Geek Uninstaller provides a streamlined solution.

As you are probably aware, standard removal programs can leave tons of leftovers on your PC. This software is anything but standard with its Force Removal option for stubborn and broken programs you will running clean in minutes. Coupled with instant startup, minimalistic, and simple but efficient user interface - it is perfect for any skill level.

Geek Uninstaller is Efficient and Fast, Small, Portable and 100% Free! Performs deep and fast scanning and removes all leftovers. Keep your PC clean!

Features
