Vanish is a modern, open-source uninstaller for Windows built with WinUI 3.
It lists classic desktop programs and MSIX/Store apps, derives silent uninstall
switches for MSI, Inno Setup, NSIS and Squirrel installers, uninstalls apps in
a batch queue, and fingerprints each app before uninstalling to find leftover
files, folders and registry entries afterwards. Every cleanup is reversible:
files go to the Recycle Bin and registry keys are backed up to .reg files with
one-click undo. No ads, no bundles, no telemetry.
