In an ideal situation, the uninstaller will clean up everything the program added to the system and leave the system in a fresh state. When a program launches, it may make additional changes to the system’s registry and future updates may add additional files elsewhere on the system.Įach developer creates their own uninstaller for their program. Some programs that need to integrate more deeply with the system may dump DLLs and other files into the Windows folder or install system services. They’ll also add information to the registry. Typically, installers will create a directory in Program Files as well as scatter shortcuts around the system. I even installed the program myself, but the icon went away when I uninstalled.Instead, the installer is free to do whatever it wants to your system. I'm thinking this may be a cache issue but I'm not tech savvy enough to figure out how to fix this, and Googling hasn't really helped me come to a conclusive answer as to what to do. However, there is only one uninstall button, and supposedly that uninstalls the whole program. When that program is installed, it looks like there are several parts to the actual program, almost like several different apps that install with it. He doesn't want any evidence of the program anywhere and he is concerned that the program is still installed even though he uninstalled it through the Apps and Programs area. But he doesn't want it in the tray at all. The app isn't showing in his main tray or I would tell him to go to settings and have it hidden. However, despite restarting, an icon for one of the program's apps is still in the system tray and when he clicks on the icon, the program/app still opens. He had downloaded (from a website) and installed a sound program (Voicemeeter) but it didn't do what he needed so he uninstalled it and restarted his computer. I am actually asking this for my Dad who is running Windows 10.
