Geek Uninstaller vs Jharu

Geek Uninstaller is a Windows utility for removing unwanted software. Its free edition runs as a portable EXE on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, including Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8 and 7, and requires administrator permissions. After a standard uninstall, it scans for leftover files and registry items. Force Removal is intended for stubborn or broken programs that cannot be removed normally. The free edition can also uninstall Microsoft Store apps on Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11, and its interface is translated into more than 40 languages. The Free plan is free, for personal use, and includes no support. Batch uninstall and installation monitoring are not available in the free edition. Paid offerings are presented under different names and terms: Geek Uninstaller PRO is listed at $24.95 a month with a lifetime license, while Uninstall Tool Standard License is $24.95 as a one-time purchase and the Portable License is $39.95 as a one-time purchase. Uninstall Tool, developed by CrystalIDEA Software based on Thomas Koen's code, adds installation monitoring, startup-program management, batch removal and technical support. It can be tried free for 30 days.

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.
