    I have three that I use all the time and have for over a decade. Revo Uninstaller, WinDirStat, and ReNamer.

    These three pieces of software have been key to so many workflows for me and/or helped more with my Windows maintenance than any software I have ever tried.

    Revo will actually scan your hard drive and registry for leave-behinds after the software uninstaller finishes. It even clears the registry keys that flag that you have finished a free trial. Fun times.

    WinDirStat is great for finding where your hard drive went in a way I find intuitive and powerful, though I am also autistic, so mileage may vary in that.

    ReNamer is the most powerful batch-renaming solution I have ever found, and if you ever have to rename thousands of files in organized ways, then you know the pain of trying to get it done. This one lets you do it in a few clicks. Truly.

      Highly recommend Revo. It does such a fantastic job and it’s great because it helps you clean out the left over files, so if you’re not as tech-savvy (or you are, you just don’t know how to or where to remove files/folders) it does a great job!
