4. Using Third-Party tools
Asides from the native ways of removing software that are built into your PC, another effective way to uninstall programs from your computer is through third-party utility tools. These tools not only remove programs from your PC but also completely delete leftover files and folders. Some examples o these third-party tools include CCleaner, Revo Uninstaller, IObit etc.
