UninstallView is a free uninstaller software that shows detailed info about installed programs. The software can list all the installed programs for a specific user’s account or for all users. It generates the list of programs and then you can see various details about those software. You can see the size, date, path, registry name, registry key, uninstalled path, source path which you used to install the software, and much more. You can see all this information right on the interface of UninstallView. Also, it allows you to export the details about a specific or all the programs as a TXT file.
Although, the built in application uninstaller of Windows shows some information about the installed programs, but the information that it shows is very limited. And that’s where this freeware comes in handy. Using it you can not only see the detailed information about a particular software, but it also allows you to uninstall a software that you want.
There are many uninstaller software available out there. But, UninstallView is more focused towards showing the useful information about an installed software that the some of the uninstaller don’t show. On the downside, most of the uninstallers give option to uninstall multiple programs together, but this one lets you uninstall just one program at a time.
