Requirements
Windows 10 or 11
ZUninstaller runs on the .NET Framework 4.8 that Windows already includes, so there is nothing else to install.

ZUninstaller
Windows 10 and 11 · Version 1.0.1 · 54 KB
Removes a program with its own uninstaller first, forces out whatever refuses to go, and clears up the files and registry entries either one leaves behind.
What it does
The polite way first, the firm way second.
01
The program’s own uninstaller first
The company that wrote a program knows what it installed — services, drivers, a licence it should release — so ZUninstaller runs their uninstaller before anything else. Then it checks whether Windows still lists the program, rather than believing the exit code, because most uninstallers hand the job to a copy of themselves and exit straight away.
02
Force out what will not go
Some programs have no uninstaller recorded at all, and some have one that fails or was cancelled half way. Force remove closes anything still running from the program’s folder, deletes the folder, and takes the entry out of the installed-programs list so it stops haunting Settings.
03
Clear up what is left behind
Even a clean uninstall leaves settings, caches and registry keys. ZUninstaller looks through the places programs keep things and shows you a ticked list with sizes. Files go to the Recycle Bin, and every registry entry is exported to a .reg file first — so anything removed can be put back.
04
Several at once, Windows apps included
Tick as many programs as you want and they are removed one after another. The list covers everything Windows records — installed for you or for everyone, 64-bit and 32-bit — and Microsoft Store apps, which it removes for all users on the PC.
Install
Running in under a minute.

Step 1
Download the zip

-
Step 2
Extract and run the installer
Right-click the zip, choose Extract All, then open ZUninstallerSetup.exe.

Step 3
If Windows shows a warning
The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may say it protected your PC. Choose More info, then Run anyway. You can check the file against the checksum below first.
-
Step 4
Install, then allow it when it starts
Setup needs no administrator rights. ZUninstaller itself asks for them when you open it, because removing a program that was installed for everybody means writing to places only an administrator may touch. Say no and it still lists everything — it just cannot remove anything. To remove ZUninstaller later, go to Settings, then Apps.

Privacy
Nothing leaves your PC
No account, no ads and no tracking. What is installed on your computer is nobody else’s business, and ZUninstaller never sends it anywhere.
Nothing goes without a yes
You choose what is deleted
Leftovers are offered as a list you tick, never removed on your behalf. Folders shared with another installed program are left out of that list on purpose, files go to the Recycle Bin, and registry entries are backed up to %LOCALAPPDATA%\ZUninstaller\Backups before they are touched. Uninstalling ZUninstaller keeps those backups.
