Registry Tweaks To Remove Uninstalled Programs Still Appear Add/Remove Programs

Add/Remove programs If you usually install or remove programs on Windows, you might experience this issue that is there are still programs take place in Add/Remove Programs but they are actually uninstalled.

It is because when uninstalling the program, the uninstaller leave some entries of that program in the Windows Registry. And when load information about installed programs, Add/Remove Programs loads these broken entries and  displays that program available on the your system.

To remove these broken entries, you can follow simple registry tweaks on Online Tech Tips (read: Remove Uninstalled Programs still in Add Remove Programs).

However, if you find that you’re not geeky enough to follow those tweaks, you can use an application to clean broken entries such as CCleaner. Or it would be the best to use an application exclusively written to uninstall program such as KUninstall.
