Ensures complete Uninstall
Smarty Uninstaller is a software that allows you to completely uninstall programs (64 and 32-bit) installed on your system. It monitors the built-in application uninstaller and uses an advanced scan engine that deletes any program leftovers. It allows you to launch the scan engine manually at any time to force uninstall a program with broken uninstaller.
Detects all changes to your system
In addition to the smart scan engine, Smarty Uninstaller provides you with an easy to use but effective feature – Smarty Snapshot. It allows you to monitor the installation of new applications and detect every change made to your system during this process. These changes are saved to the snapshot, that can be accessed later at any time for review or complete uninstall.
Easily manage programs
The grouping feature allows you to organize applications into logical groups and view grouped programs in separate tabs. You can add comments to installed applications which will be displayed on the main window when an application is selected.
Intuitive and modern interface
Featuring an intuitive and modern interface, Smarty Uninstaller displays in the main window all installed software, broken installations, system components and Windows updates.

Reviews for Smarty Uninstaller
As with any Uninstall software like this, “EVEN REVO UNINSTALLER PRO WHICH I USE”, you need to make sure that you don’t run any other programs while the install process “Recording the changes” is going on. I have used Smarty Uninstaller in the past and would put it right there with Revo Pro.
But I must mention, as with ANY UNINSTALL program that records the installation of software you need to make sure you aren’t running anything else when installing.
ONE BIG PROBLEM that occurs with Revo Pro and Smarty Uninstaller and ALL uninstall programs like this is that a lot of times after the installation of the software it opens up your browser before you click the “END UNINSTALL RECORD”, and the reason that is a problem is because when you go to uninstall the program while it will uninstall everything, the problem is it uninstalls things from your browser as a side effect of it opening your browser before you select to END the recording of the installation for the software.
You can always use Heckasoft and keep a backup of your browser settings and such. Sure you can sync Chrome/Opera/Firefox/etc…. but it’s a real pain to have to do that sometimes. Heckasofts backup/recover FREE software is the way to go. Just thought I would mention this for those who don’t know.
I would recommend Smarty Uninstaller Highly, it is just as good as Revo Pro in the uninstall category, and honestly in some ways better. I’m going to give this one 5 stars because for a free offering and the generosity of the software vendors and authors it deserves it, it is TOP NOTCH with the exceptions I mentioned which are a PROBLEM with ALL uninstall software like this, but it does do the job perfectly.
Most PC users install a lot of applications on their PC, many of which they do not even need. For this reason they uninstall many applications, but Control Panel’s abilities are limited when it come to uninstalling programs. It fails to completely remove the programs, especially in case of the programs that are not easy to uninstall and do not disappear from computer easily. It is not able to remove all the files and registry keys from the system once you uninstall a program, which results in increasing junk and temporary files in the computer. For this reason, a third-party uninstaller application is needed, which can provide a solution to this problem.
Smarty Uninstaller is a lightweight yet powerful application, designed to help you remove Windows applications completely with all their junk and obsolete files, to ensure your PC performance does not degrade due to it.
Installation & Set-up
The installer size is ~6MB only, and the installation process is simple and straightforward, taking no time at all to complete. Once the installation completes, you can start using the application straightaway as it comes pre-activated for use. On startup, the application automatically scans and builds up a list of all the applications, and sorts them into relevant categories.
User Interface
The application comes with a clean and user-friendly interface, with a modern design, that makes it easy to navigate through. The application lists all the installed applications (32-bit and 64-bit), and the applications list can be sorted by different attributes like name, publisher, website, install date, size, version, and more. At the top, there are four tabs, namely Actions, Tools, Settings, and Help. All these tabs contain functions and options that their names suggest. Under it are six tabs, namely All Applications, Microsoft Store, Uninstall History, Recently Installed, Autostart, Rarely Used.
First tab lists all the applications, whereas the second one shows only the application that have been installed from the Microsoft Store only. The third tab lists all the applications that have been recently uninstalled and keeps record of them. The next tab is ‘Recently Installed’ tab, which lists all the applications that have been installed recently, followed by the ‘Autostrt’ tab which lists all the applications that have autostart entries that allow them to start with Windows. The last tab is quiet useful one, as it lists application that you rarely use, this helps you easily decide which applications to remove as you do not even use them a lot.
Pros
– Clean, Easy-to-use, and intuitive UI, designed for all types of users, even the novces.
– Theme, color, font, and languge of the UI can be changed by users to their own preference.
– Three types of uninstallation process; Uninstall, Force Uninstall, and Snapshot Uninstall.
– Right click context menu integration.
– Snapshot system state before and after installation, to ensure the uninstallation removes everything.
– Manage autostart applications.
– Get advanced details about applications and also search online for details.
– Group application into different groups and manage them as you wish too.
Cons
– It’s speed of scanning for leftovers is slower than other similar applications.
Conclusion
Smarty Uninstaller is a reliable software application, that comes with useful and powerful features and functions, that help you remove applications completely from your system with all their junk. The application runs smoothly without any lag or crashes, system resource usage is low during the run. It is definitely recomended.
I use this software, no problem, fast uninstall software. Its The Best. I Recommend
I might consider myself an advanced user, but not so up-to-date. For years a happy user of Revo Uninstaller, I had to switch to Smarty Uninstaller when my main computer crashed. Below are my personal – and therefore subjective – observations & remarks:
– Did not find Smarty Uninstaller’s UI to be confusing.
– Haven’t experienced Dennis Nelson’s system slowing down, or his display flickering.
– Always allowed a program’s own built-in uninstaller to run its course, although *not* before disconnecting from the net — as I don’t wish to let every single developer know my reasons for uninstalling a software!
– Never have I used Smarty Uninstaller’s registry cleaner, thus I can offer no opinion.
Am I, then, all *for* it? Definitely not! Why? Because twice* that I had decided to re-istall a couple of applications onto a different drive (having them previously installed and uninstalled by Smarty Uninstaller), those programs had my User Name and the Key Code already filled-in [!] during re-installation… without my manual input. One conclusion: Smarty Uninstaller had left such essential information behind, untouched, nesting inside the Registry. A commercial Uninstaller’s unacceptable omission!
Till when I’ll manage to revive my main PC, I’m using Ashampoo Uninstaller. Too short a time and use of it so as to form a proper idea, but I admit to missing the confidence Revo Uninstaller had been giving me — especially the logged backups, and thorough list of left-overs after uninstalling

Revo Uninstaller is hardly the best, either. Yes, it is a whole lot better than the built-in uninstaller, but I can expect it to also leave behind files and folders, time and time again. I will certainly dump Revo when someone offers me a better program.
Thanks for your thoughtful and insightful review of Smarty Uninstaller. As a long time user of Revo Uninstaller Pro, I was just wondering why you abandoned it when your computer crashed — and why you did not return to using it?
Smarty uninstaller is a software that is designed to help you get rid of junk files that are left behind whenever you uninstall an application. It cleans cookies, browsing history, auto-complete data, unused program files and temporary or potentially unwanted files. It also has a registry cleaner to find and locate problems such as missing application paths as well as missing references to DLL files.
Installation
Smarty Uninstaller is a pretty light program so everything is rosy during download an installation. Once you launch the application a few problems will set in, especially if you are not running a powerful machine. The application consumes a lot of resources when scanning for junk files and in some cases, the computer’s display will flicker a couple of times.
Specifications and Functionality
After I had finished the installation, I was ready to uninstall the first program so I selected it and clicked on uninstall. I ran Smarty Uninstaller and was given a message that the program was waiting for the built-in uninstaller to finish uninstalling the program before it could run. A few seconds later, it displayed a message that it could not continue until I had used the native Windows uninstaller to uninstall the same program!
It takes quite a long time to file remnants and an even longer time to clear the junk files. Even after I managed to uninstall a couple of programs with it, neither did it run any faster nor my machine run any faster. Speed is an issue that I hope will be addressed in the future releases.
Display
I have very few qualms about its display and the manufactures made an effort to include as many functions as possible within the same window. As much as these commands are useful to the advanced user, they might be an eyesore to those who are not used to such software.
Pros
The software does its basic function, to find and clean junk files, although not efficiently. It scans every section of the hard drive and lists files and folders that were once occupied by the program to be uninstalled. It allows for choosing of files to keep and those that you would like to uninstall.
The software also allows you to group applications in tabs and you can also add comments to the installed applications which will be displayed when you select the application on the main window.
Cons
It runs very slowly and takes quite a good amount of time to uninstall an application or better yet remove the associated junk files. Apart from its response time, the interface looks congested, it doesn’t speed up the computer and it is only designed for Microsoft Windows OS.
Conclusion
Smarty Uninstaller isn’t your fast uninstaller; it just complements the application’s native uninstaller to remove associated junk files. It is slow but removes the junk files as indicated. It also allows easy uninstallation in some programs but completely fails to uninstall others. Therefore, it is not your ideal program uninstaller.
