uninstaller
<operating system> A {utility} program to remove another
{application program} from a computer's disks.
Most commonly found on {IBM PCs}, as applications tend to
leave files in various places on the {hard disc}, so special
software is required to tidy up after them.
Ken Spreitzer <[email protected]> claims to have written the
original PC program called "UnInstaller", first licensed to
{MicroHelp} and now (Feb 1998) sold by {CyberMedia}.
Compare with {installer}.
