Uninstall
Choose between available uninstall profiles:
Total Uninstall - perform all actions to uninstall the monitored program completely. This profile should
not
be used for programs that were already uninstalled (with Total Uninstall or with its own uninstaller).
Clean Up - will perform the necessary actions to uninstall completely a monitored program that was
already uninstalled using its own uninstaller.
Shared files
Shared files are used to store program code or data that is supposed to be shared between two or more
programs. The installers define a counter in registry to keep track of the number of programs that uses the
same shared file.
Installers increment the shared file counter. Uninstallers decrease the counter for each uninstalled
program that uses that shared file. The zero value for counter means that the file is no longer used and
can be removed from system.
Like any uninstaller program Total Uninstall decrements the shared file counter and suggest to remove the
shared files only if the counter reach zero.
The shared files are always deleted to Recycle Bin.
Delete items?
Before deleting a created folder or a registry key Total Uninstall checks if it is empty. Usually after deleting
of all logged sub-items of a folder or of a registry key this should be empty. If not, means that there are
items created after installation. The origin of the unexpected items cannot be detected or can contain
some user valuable data so the user must decide what should happen with those items.
The dialog gives the user opportunity to keep and/or remove selectively items created after installation of
the program.
