Questions and answers

Yes. The app list, search and plain uninstalls are unlimited, with no ads, no trial clock and no account. Free also cleans the leftovers of 3 apps a month; it always shows you what was left behind.

Yes, both. One Pro license works on either: on one computer at a time, and you can move it whenever you like.

On Windows: desktop apps, MSI packages and Microsoft Store apps, including the removable ones that came with the PC. On Mac: the apps in Applications and in your own Applications folder.

Yes, first. That’s the cleanest start, since the app knows its own parts. Purge Uninstaller then looks for what the uninstaller left behind.

Yes. The leftover hunt looks for folders and registry keys left by apps that are gone, and lists only what no installed app owns and what clearly matches.

On Windows, removing an app installed for every user needs administrator rights, so Windows asks you first. On a Mac it asks for nothing at first launch: the Library folders are read and cleaned as they are. Moving another app’s container needs Full Disk Access, which Purge Uninstaller asks for right then, with a button to the setting; system files in /Library need your administrator password.

Nothing is removed before you’ve seen it in the list. Only clear matches are ticked for you, folders shared by many apps stay protected, and everything removed goes to Purge Uninstaller’s restore store first, so one click puts it back for 30 days.

Removed files are moved into the restore store, and registry keys are saved before they go. Pick an uninstall in the history and choose Restore: the app’s files and settings come back where they were. Pro keeps 30 days of history; Free can undo its last action for 7 days.

Folders that many apps use, such as Microsoft’s, Adobe’s common files or Apple’s, are protected and never offered for removal.

It can, if you turn it on in Settings. You don’t need one to undo: the restore store brings back what Purge Uninstaller removed.

When you turn on Pro: your license key, an anonymous code for the computer and whether it’s Windows or Mac; while Pro is on, the key and the code once a day. When it checks for updates: the version you have. And anonymous usage counts, such as how many apps were removed, through PostHog in the EU. Never the names of your apps, files or folders.

Your email and license key if you buy Pro, and counts of downloads without your IP address. The details are at purgeuninstaller.com/privacy.
