BCUninstaller v5.8.2

Bulk Crap Uninstaller (abbreviated as BCUninstaller or BCU) is a batch uninstaller tool for Windows.

It can detect most applications and games (even portable or unregistered software), supports forced uninstall, cleanup of leftovers after uninstall, automatic uninstall based on preset lists, etc.

BCUninstaller has very powerful detection capabilities, able to detect, manage, and uninstall applications from the following sources:

• Normally registered applications (same as Programs and Features and many other uninstallers)
• Hidden/protected registered applications
• Applications with broken or missing uninstallers
• Portable applications (searched in common locations and on portable drives, configurable)
• Chocolatey packages
• Oculus games/applications
• Steam games/applications
• Windows Features
• Windows Store apps (Universal Windows Platform apps)
• Windows Updates

Fast automatic uninstall

BCUninstaller’s main feature is its ability to fully or nearly fully automate the process of uninstalling multiple applications. BCU always attempts to use the application’s original uninstaller to avoid the problem of blindly deleting files to automate uninstallation found in some uninstall managers (e.g., failing to unregister context menu items or services).

• Uninstall multiple applications at once
• Uninstall with little to no user input
• Uninstall multiple items at once to speed up the process (with collision prevention)
• Console interface can automatically uninstall applications based on conditions without user input
• Silently uninstall many uninstallers that do not support silent uninstall
• Uninstall applications even without an uninstaller
• Uninstall applications via window, shortcut, or directory
• Can handle crashed and hung uninstallers

Other Features

Although detection and uninstall are BCU’s two main features that get the most attention, it also has many useful tools built on this framework.

• Find and delete leftover files after uninstall
• Clean up unused or empty folders in program folders
• Manually uninstall any application, bypassing its uninstaller (forced uninstall)
• Startup Manager
• Application Rating
• A large amount of data about applications is collected and displayed. Users can freely browse, filter, and export everything.
• Filter using common presets or fully custom rules, supports regular expressions
• Uninstaller certificate verification
• Highly configurable
• Can run user-specified commands before and after uninstall
• Can run on .Net 4.0 or newer, or if not available, on .Net 3.5 with reduced functionality (will run on Windows 7 or newer without updates).
• Fully portable, settings saved in a single file
