Revo uninstaller used to remove every file/folder related to an app from every drive while uninstalling that app.but with the recent Windows updates lots of files/folders related to an app stay in the system even after the app is removed, mostly in c>users folders/sub folders.for the softwares already removed, which location to look for to manually delete these leftover files of an
already uninstalled app?any other alternative of Revo uninstaller which work well?

I have used many leftover removers, some can corrupt windows files and Ms office as well. This is safe option.

Alternatives to Revo Uninstaller, here are a few:

1. IObit Uninstaller: This tool is similar to Revo Uninstaller and can help you remove stubborn leftover files.

2. Geek Uninstaller: A lightweight uninstaller that focuses on removing all traces of an application.

3. CCleaner: While known primarily as a system cleaner, CCleaner also has an uninstaller feature that can help remove leftover files.

4. Windows Settings: With recent updates, Windows 10 and Windows 11 have improved their built-in uninstaller, which now offers an option to remove apps and their data.

Remember that manually deleting files and editing the registry can be risky if you're not sure what you're doing. Always back up your data and consider creating a system restore point before making any significant changes to your system.

Any such uninstaller software can corrupt something(windows or software) depending on the situation. Best option is to install only necessary software & if you want to experiment with trial software/other software then test it inside a virtual machine or on secondary system. Also, leftover files/data only occupies space & shouldn't affect performance of system on a ssd if software ws uninstalled correctly via its own uninstaller.
