Probably wanna check
BulkCrapUninstaller for windows. https://www.bcuninstaller.com/
It's pretty good.
Or just drop Winblows and finally move to freedom by installing a good Linux distro.
A Linux native version might even be worse. At least in windows you can usually just delete the directory out of \program files or wherever. Linux applications tend to insert themselves into every corner of your filesystem

FlatPak anyone?
I think expecting a company that's this hostile towards uninstalling to distribute as a flat pack is asking a lot. Also maybe this is nitpicking but idk if I'd call containerized "native"
@funksoulkitchen@lemmy.zip
Revo Uninstaller is really good too.
Or as someone else mentioned, just ditch windows. It's a sinking ship. I'll end my spiel there.^irunarchbtw^
very nice, thanks for the link.
