Uninstaller

A uninstaller or deinstaller is a computer program which is designed to remove all or parts of a specific other program or application. It is the opposite of an installer. Some software vendors ship an uninstaller with their applications.

A third-party uninstaller is a program which uninstalls programs from vendors different from the uninstaller vendor. Such uninstallers often aim to support uninstallation of a number of programs.

Specialized uninstallers are usually not needed on a computer system which supports package management, provided that software is installed as a properly-built package.
