Has something new come along? It's been so long since I've needed to do this that I assume CCleaner has enshittified by now.

Bleachbit vs BCUninstaller vs WinDirStat vs Wiztree, which should I prefer? I am currently using BCU.

Wiztree is so much faster than WinDirStat it's silly. Never looked back. Maybe things have changed?

Is wiztree much better than BCU and Bleachbit? Like, removing al the vestiges of an uninstalled program. I feel like BCU is half-assing it. Earlier I used to use Revo Uninstaller which is I think much better than BCU.

I'm using BCU with no complaints. Why do you think Revo is better? Curious to know if it's worth switching over.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Revo has nice UI. All the options are present in aesthetically and it's easy to use. But it has a free and a paid version. Which led me to install BCU. But I don't think BCU is good at cleaning up vestigial files after uninstalling a program. There's always some files left unremoved which have to be deleted manually after a program is uninstalled. I didn't have this issue with Revo.
