About

Vanish is a modern, open-source uninstaller for Windows built with WinUI 3.

It lists classic desktop programs and MSIX/Store apps, derives silent uninstall

switches for MSI, Inno Setup, NSIS and Squirrel installers, uninstalls apps in

a batch queue, and fingerprints each app before uninstalling to find leftover

files, folders and registry entries afterwards. Every cleanup is reversible:

files go to the Recycle Bin and registry keys are backed up to .reg files with

one-click undo. No ads, no bundles, no telemetry.
