Remove junk from your computer

From KimKomando.com

Over time, your computer can get bogged down with bloatware and programs you don’t need any more. Now, it’s time to do a little spring cleaning on your computer. You could use the standard Add/Remove Programs feature in Windows, but I have a better alternative.

This free download is like a super-powered version of Windows’ standard uninstaller. It makes it easy to see every single program on your computer and uninstall multiple programs at once.

It also gives you access to tons of information about each program on your computer. It shows you the software publisher, install date, about URL, install source, install location and more.

The program is simple to use. The interface looks like a more in-depth version of Windows’ standard uninstaller. When you open it up, you’ll see all of your programs listed in a sortable list, complete with lots of useful information.

To select an item, just click on it. You can also select multiple items by holding down to the Shift key while you click. To select multiple items at different parts of list, hold down the Control key while you click. You can also select all, deselect all and perform an invert selection on the list using the buttons on the left side of the screen.

Once you’ve selected all the programs you want to uninstall, just click the uninstall button at the top of the windows. You can also use the Advanced operations menu to do other things like delete registry keys or create backups.

To get started, click the blue link at the bottom of this page to reach the Bulk Crap Uninstaller download page. Once you reach the download page, click the install button at the top that reads “Windows Download.”

You’re download will begin immediately. Next, open up the downloaded zip file. In this file, double click “BCUninstaller.” When the pop up comes up, click “Extract All.” Your computer will automatically extract these files to a folder called “bcuninstaller_1.6_release” in your Downloads folder. You can also choose to save the file in a different location.

In the new file window, double click the “BCUninstaller” application to use the program. Bulk Crap Uninstaller will immediately start up and you can begin removing junk programs from your computer.
