Many 'registry cleaners' are either absurdly dangerous and some would hose a Windows install entirely. There, they are good, but useless if you need to dig deeper. The usual uninstaller programs like Revo or Iobit are relatively worthless for 'deeper' cleaning and removing as they are mostly for Desktop applications.

My goal was to declutter my machine as good as I could, and I had a whole barrage of tools ready, namely 'Patch Cleaner', 'Installer Cleanup Script', as well as even some custom PowerShell scripts. I am familiar with uninstallers (Revo, Iobit etc.) and of course I have my fair share with so-called 'registry cleaners', from JV16 to CCleaner to Auslogics to Youname it. In particular I had a hosed Visual Studio install (Visual Studio 14.0, but also Visual Studio 15.0) where I faced the absurd task needing to manually remove/uninstall the zillions of leftover components, namely SDKs and much more. I have a Win10 machine which over the years accumulated lots of stuff. Also, I have no relationship with that company who is making Wise Care Likewise, I am fairly experienced with Windows and build PCs for a long time, so this may help with context. and I am otherwise not keen on so-called maintenance and PC speedup software. HEAR ME OUT first! I know about the nonsense of 'registry cleaners' etc.
