Dll Orphans

Dll Orphans is a simple-to-use program whose purpose is to identify DLL entries which are not being used by any application on your computer, commonly known as DLL orphaned entries, as the name says.
These kind of items are typically left behind after uninstalling utilities, when their links to parent entries are terminated, and their corresponding files are deleted. They no longer have a functionality but simply clutter the Windows Registry.
The installation procedure is rapid and uneventful, and doesn't require special attention from the user. Once it finishes you can check out the plain interface consisting of a single window with a WYSIWYG structure.
Initializing a scanning procedure reveals all DLLs that exist on the system; all orphaned entries are automatically checked by Dll Orphans. The status bar contains the total found entries, entries with missing files, and entries with zero usage count.
In the following step, you can either delete the items that are already checked or make some adjustments beforehand, such as deselecting an orphaned DLL or selecting an existing Registry item for elimination. It is important to keep in mind that Dll Orphans automatically creates a Registry backup before making any modifications, just in case you accidentally delete existing entries that Windows needs to work properly, so you can roll back the changes made at any time. There are no other notable options provided by this tool.
Dll Orphans is very light on the system resources, using a minimal quantity of CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and carries out a scan and clean task rapidly and error-free. The app did not hang or crash throughout our evaluation. Moreover, less experienced users can look into a help file. On the other hand, Dll Orphans is pretty ancient and not supported by newer OS platforms.
