  • Uninstalling jv16 PowerTools 2017 - Select what to remove / Select what to keep

These are the default Uninstall Options for jv16 PowerTools 2017. Currently, the product asks you what to remove.

Currently, by default, Backups and Settings are not marked for removal.


Please submit your vote in the Poll so that we can keep as is or change the way the Uninstall - Options of jv16 PowerTools 2017 are listed. This should help to avoid the confusion of "leftovers" after jv16 PowerTools 2017 has been uninstalled (we don't leave any, unless you ask the software to do so).

Select what to keep -- and provide a "nothing" option.

Thank you for your feedback and point of view! It helps a lot to understand your needs and expectations, to which I agree. Lets draw a conclusion soon, after maybe few more votes are cast, to make a clear difference.

I concur with the comment by GarySmith as anyone who wants to remove the program is doing so for a reasonable it try to re-install or just like a lot of customers "very unhappy" with the lack of speed in comparison with "X".

I have removed "2017" and re-installed several times on both my computers and am not impressed with the upgrade, I have been using this program since the very first reg cleaner.

I hope there is more work done soon to make it more slick and user friendly otherwise a lot of customers will just give up.

Not quite clear as what davebt was trying to convey, but if one is uninstalling because they do not like the application, why would one want to keep anything?


Also, I have installed, and subsequently uninstalled, all the 2017 versions, from the first BETA through the latest release.


I have never uninstalled X, except the one time I tried to use X to remove the leftovers of 2017, and it uninstalled itself (X).


Here is my suggestion: When running the uninstall routine, a prompt asking if the user wants to keep any data should popup with YES/NO as the two options.


Selecting NO completely removes everything.


Selecting YES results in another prompt asking the user what they would prefer to keep, e.g. License, Backups, etc.

Maybe you would want to reinstall later and preserve licensing, settings, backups made by the application.

Your suggestion will be taken into consideration when we will implement the result of this poll / community debate.


Thank you for your input, hopefully others will join the discussion and we will be able to organize other topics as well.


If you have any suggestions for new topics, then please send me a private message and I will be glad to organize new polls and community discussions with the purpose of improving / changing the product to match our community's common sense.

Sorry guys, I should have looked at the screen when typing or even opened my eyes!!


I meant to say that if anyone wanted to completely remove the program they are doing so for a reason, they can always re-install at a later date if they wish.

Reading some of the comments I see a lot of customers are not very happy with the lack of speed in relation to version "X".

I am still waiting to see if there is any update to making 2017 faster.
