uninstallers
Program deletion tools
Uninstallers are programs that remove software from a computer, deleting files and registry entries the original installation created.
Operating systems include basic uninstallers, but third-party uninstallers claim to be more thorough, hunting down leftover files that standard removal misses: I ran an uninstaller to completely remove the antivirus software.
