Jharu vs Wise Program Uninstaller

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.

Wise Program Uninstaller removes Windows applications, including stubborn software, built-in apps and UWP programs. After a standard removal, its deep scan looks for leftover registry entries, orphaned files and empty folders. Force Uninstall searches for related files, folders and registry entries when Windows settings cannot remove an application. Custom Uninstall can target programs missing from Windows app lists if the user locates the installation folder. Software Health tools can clean leftover app data and temporary files, manage app permissions and services, and help control pop-ups and notifications. Batch browser-extension removal supports Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Internet Explorer. Downloads are listed for Windows 7, 8/8.1, 10 and 11 in 32-bit and 64-bit editions. A portable version is available; the maker recommends it for Windows XP because the installer no longer supports XP. The Free plan includes application removal, browser-extension removal, software-health analysis and premium technical support.
