Uninstaller¶
The uninstaller is RECON Live's first module — a thorough, Revo-style program remover for a running Windows. It goes past Programs and Features: it runs an app's own uninstaller, then finds and clears the leftovers (files and registry entries) it leaves behind, with every deletion reviewed and confirmed.
Sections¶
- Apps — installed desktop programs. Uninstall one, then review and remove its leftovers.
- Store apps — Microsoft Store / UWP packages. System, framework, and non-removable packages are blocked from removal so you can't break Windows.
- Extensions — browser extensions across Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, grouped by browser and profile. Search and remove unwanted or suspicious add-ons.
- Hunter — point at any window on screen to identify the program behind it, then act on it. Critical system processes are protected and can't be ended.
- Clean up — reclaim space from common junk.
- Backups — where RECON Live records what it changed, so removals can be reviewed.
Safety¶
The uninstaller's deletions are guarded: you see what will be removed, you confirm it, removals are reversible where possible, junction/reparse points are not followed, and protected or system-critical items (critical packages, critical processes) are refused outright. The same safety model that governs the rest of RECON applies here.
Status
The uninstaller is implemented with the sections above. On-disk, Appx, and browser-profile parsing run against the real system; live elevated testing across all sections is ongoing.
