When you uninstall a program in Windows, many applications usually remove only the main program components, while leaving residual files, folders, registry entries, and temporary data behind. Over time, these leftovers can waste disk space and clutter your system. Wise Program Uninstaller includes a feature that helps you export and review these remaining traces after uninstalling software.
