    O&O AppBuster

    In addition to their awesome O&O ShutUp10, O&O Software has just released this new app!

    When setting up Windows 10, Microsoft not only installs the operating system alone, but also a whole range of additional apps – some useful, some less so. O&O AppBuster allows you to remove the unwanted apps easily and quickly. Or, if you accidentally uninstalled one of these apps, you can also retrieve them with one click.

    Over a clear and concise interface, O&O AppBuster shows you which of these Microsoft-supplied apps with Windows 10 are installed on your computer and which you can install on request – even hidden apps are displayed here.

    Take back control of Windows 10 again with help from O&O AppBuster!

    Features:
    • Uninstall apps pre-installed by Microsoft (also the hidden Apps!)
    • Remove pre-installed third-party apps and protect your privacy
    • Reinstall accidentally deleted apps
    • Undo changes at any time by creating a system restore point

    What's nice about this app is that you can multi-select all the apps that you don't want and nuke them all in one shot as opposed to CCleaner where you have to do it one at a time

    With the previous methods of uninstalling these things, is there any incentive to reinstall then uninstall them again using this software?

    Mine says I have 44/85 available apps installed, but only 2 (Sticky Notes and a printer) are removable. All the others can be installed though.

    Edit/OT: How's their SafeErase 12 program? I remember having TeraCopy for copying/deleting my stuff in the other laptop, but I haven't had the time to check out which ones are the best at deleting and/or copying files.

    Its best to use Reset App features provided by OS in Settings > Apps
    I stopped using teracopy 3.x since it was buggy and most file transfer stop midway and won't resume. So, I switch to Fastcopy for very huge files 8GB+. <8GB I use default explorer file copy.
    You mean another 40+ apps are locked and cannot be removed? That's odd and you might wanna file a bug report.

    If you've uninstalled the apps before using CCleaner or any other tool. You're good. This tool just makes it easier to uninstall them all in one shot and to restore any of them if you decided later on that you needed it (I hope not)
