I was wanting to uninstall a previous version of IDM (Internet Download Manager) via Revo (Pro), and I wanted to remove all traces of it, including registry files and all that, but I don't really understand this software, upon uninstall it asks whether I want to remove some possible registry files, now possible means the software isn't sure that those files are consisting any IDM stuffs or not, or am I getting it wrong? When I look at the path of the files, they are all (or most of them) under Windows folder, folder like HKEY LOCAL USER etc. are listed there, and I am actually scared to delete those files as they are related to Windows' registry, unless they are IDM only file.

So my question is, when I uninstall something via Revo, how do I exactly proceed and make sure that none of my Windows file are getting removed?

Thanks in advance.

I have used Revo Uninstaller before too and switched to IObit because it was doing the job faster, including the things in bold, without using much resources

I'm not misunderstanding. It also removes every file associated with the application, even the user specific setting files and the registry entries.

Thanks, watched the first video, she did what I did, deleted all the registry items, so I guess I am safe.

Will watch the second video later, when the net becomes okay.

PS: Watched it. Had no idea about Hunter mode, LOL. That might be useful.

Yeah, I use the built in uninstaller too, but this was an exception, cause I had to remove every possible trace of the software I was uninstalling.
