Bulk Crap Uninstaller 4.9 Build 34008

Bulk Crap Uninstaller is a free (as in speech) program uninstaller. It excels at removing large amounts of applications with minimal user input. It can clean up leftovers, detect orphaned applications, run uninstallers according to premade lists, and much more. Even though BCU was made with IT pros in mind, by default it is so straight-forward that anyone can use it effortlessly!

Bulk Crap Uninstaller features:

• Detect and uninstall Windows Store apps
• Uninstall multiple items at once to speed up the process (with collision prevention)
• Uninstall any number of applications in a single batch
• Minimal user input is required during uninstallation
• Can find and remove leftovers after uninstallation
• Can uninstall some apps even if they don't have any uninstallers
• Detects applications with damaged or missing uninstallers
• Adds quiet uninstall options to some uninstallers, even if they do not support them by default
• Uninstall lists for automation
• Startup manager
• Verification of uninstaller certificates
• Fully portable, settings are saved to a single file

Release notes:

This release introduces Scripts (custom detection rules) and Tweaks.

Scripts create custom entries on the application list and allow end-user to add functions to their BCU installs. Scripts are placed in the Resources\Scripts folder.

Tweaks (e.g. Disable subscribed content) are displayed on the application list and can be "uninstalled" just like normal programs. This allows users to add them to uninstall lists and run automatically. Tweaks are implemented as scripts and can be taken as examples.
