Bulk Crap Uninstaller vs Jharu

Bulk Crap Uninstaller (BCUninstaller) is free Windows desktop software for removing multiple applications with minimal user input. It detects registered and hidden applications, portable apps, Chocolatey packages, Oculus and Steam apps, Windows Features, Store apps, and Windows Updates. It usually tries an application's original uninstaller, but also supports forced removal or removal by window, shortcut, or directory. Afterward, it can find leftovers and clean unused or empty folders in Program Files directories. Other tools include a startup manager, application ratings, Regex filtering, and options to browse, filter, and export application data. It verifies uninstaller certificates and can store settings in a single file. Setup, portable, and standalone portable downloads are offered. Version 6 supports Windows 10 or newer; it requires the.NET 8 desktop runtime unless using the portable version. The product is licensed under Apache 2.0 for free private and commercial use, subject to the license terms. The plan is free.

Jharu is a free desktop disk cleaner and storage analyzer for software developers and machine learning engineers. It runs on macOS and Windows and scans more than 25 known developer and machine-learning cache locations, showing per-item safety ratings and staleness. Its model view covers individual models from Hugging Face, Ollama, Whisper, PyTorch, and Keras, and distinguishes loaded models from downloads that have not been opened. A disk-analysis view presents contents as a treemap or list and classifies folders by type. Jharu can find virtualenv and conda environments, size their packages, and show duplication between environments. Its uninstaller removes applications and leftover support files, caches, and preferences; on Windows, it runs each program’s own uninstaller. Cleanup moves items to Trash or Recycle Bin, with a safety rating and confirmation, while operating system locations are protected. The maker describes the open-source app as having no telemetry. macOS users need to grant Full Disk Access for complete scan coverage. The maker says the app is not yet signed with a paid developer certificate, so either platform may display a security warning at first launch.
