Bulk Crap Uninstaller vs Uninstalr

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.

Uninstalr is a Windows app for uninstalling software, with leftover scanning, forced removal and batch uninstall. Before removal begins, it shows paths that would be deleted and lets users exclude paths; the maker recommends reviewing them and creating a backup first. Its custom engine can continue an uninstall without further interaction once started. The app detects 16 listed types, including Microsoft Store apps, package-manager apps and games from several platforms. Users can search, sort and filter one installed-app list, and disk use is calculated in real time. Uninstalr also displays app country of origin; the maker says this feature works locally without sending data elsewhere. Portable and setup versions have the same functionality, and the download page lists Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7. The free plan is available for personal, business and client-computer use. Uninstalr Pro is $39 a month (billed One-time payment; 1 computer); the Pro and WinFindr Pro bundle is $56 a month (billed One-time payment; 1 computer).
