One thing worth adding-when dealing with leftover files or registry entries after uninstalling (especially in an enterprise context), always consider taking a full system backup or at least exporting the registry keys you’re editing. Even with trusted uninstallers like Revo or Geek, occasionally remnants sneak by, so double-checking common locations like C:\Program Files, C:\ProgramData, and HKLM\Software/HKCU\Software can help.
For enterprise deployments, Microsoft’s own Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter can sometimes do the trick, though it’s a bit basic. I’ve also seen PowerShell’s Get-WmiObject or Get-Package used, but with limited success on really old software. If you do write scripts, careful with what you remove-system restore points are your safety net!
Would love to hear if anyone’s found solid scripting solutions for these edge cases, especially with newer UWP/Store apps where normal uninstallers aren’t even an option.
