Ashampoo Magical UnInstall

Ashampoo Magical UnInstall is a lightweight software application designed specifically for helping you remove unwanted or outdated programs from your computer and delete registry entries or leftover files.

Working with system snapshots

Compared to other similar software from the Uninstallers category, this particular one manages the uninstallation process in a different way. It creates system snapshots, more specifically one before installing a new application and another right afterwards.
It compares the two snapshots, which include information about all registry entries, location, date, size, version and other configuration files, and records them in a log file.
When you want to uninstall a tool from your system, Ashampoo Magical UnInstall makes use of the info comprised in the log for restoring everything on your system to the way it was before installing the application. This implies the removal of registry entries, directories or other remnants.

User interface

The program’s features can be accessed from the system tray by performing a right-click operation on the utility’s icon. Basically, there’s not much to configure as the tool requires minimal user intervention.

Automatic monitoring mode upon new installations

Whenever you install a new utility on your computer, Ashampoo Magical UnInstall automatically pops out asking you to monitor the installation process, ignore once this operation or add the current application to the whitelist and skip it from the monitoring mode in the future.
Monitoring the installation process means that the program saves the entire status of your system, including registry entries, locations, dates, sizes, file versions and other details.
At the end of the installation, you can choose where you want to save the log. Installing new applications via Ashampoo Magical UnInstall can also be done manually.

Reinstall removed programs and configure a few settings

The utility comes with a handy feature for helping you reinstall the programs you have removed with Ashampoo Magical UnInstall. You only need to specify the ERF file and the tool takes care of the rest.
When it comes to configuration settings, you are allowed to edit the list of files to ignore while monitoring apps, activate the automatic monitoring mode, write log files after program installation, define the name of the programs that you want to monitor (by default the tool recognizes only the files called “install.exe” and “setup.exe”), as well as choose the destination folder for reinstallation files and limit the file size.

An overall efficient uninstaller

All in all, Ashampoo Magical UnInstall serves its purpose quite well and provides an efficient way for helping you uninstall programs from your computer and get rid of leftover files.
