Un1nst4ll3r is a next-generation PowerShell-based maintenance utility designed to hunt down installed applications and their "ghost" traces. Unlike standard uninstallers, it utilizes deep-level heuristics to map the filesystem and registry.
- 🔍 Multi-Source Discovery: Scans standard Registry (Win32), 64-bit nodes, and modern AppX/Windows Store packages.
- 🕵️ Orphan Detection: Uses MuiCache and Shortcut indexing to find apps that have lost their registry entries but still reside on your disk.
- 📊 Deep Size Engine: Bypasses generic registry metadata to calculate real-time folder sizes via safe I/O recursive measurement.
- 🛡️ Smart Filtering: Automatically protects critical system paths (WinSxS, System32) from accidental modification.
- 📑 Structured Logging: Every operation is logged with high-resolution timestamps and categorized for forensic inspection.
- 🌐 Multi-Language Support: Full localized experience for English (US), Portuguese (BR), and Spanish (ES).
- [SCAN LIST] 💾: Instantly loads the last successful scan results from the local JSON cache.
- [NEW SCAN] 🔄: Triggers the 4-Phase Engine:
- Phase 1: Registry & Store interrogation.
- Phase 2: MuiCache & Orphan discovery.
- Phase 3: Deep disk size measurement.
- Phase 4: JSON data export.
- [UNINSTALL] 🗑️: Launches the targeted removal sequence (Supports MSI, Silent, and AppX modes).
- [VIEW LOG] 📟: Opens the real-time debug terminal to see exactly how the engine is resolving paths.
- OS: Windows 8.1/10/11
- Host: PowerShell 5.1 (Core) but 7.x is highly recommended for maximum performance.
- Dependency: Includes an auto-updater that utilizes Winget to keep your PowerShell environment up to date.(under maintenance)
Launch the interface directly via terminal:
powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File Un1nst4ll3r-UI.ps1Data Export: All scan results are serialized into Un1nst4ll3r_ScanResult.json for easy integration with other automation tools.
Developed with brain as a high-performance alternative to legacy uninstallers.
- Logs: Stored in
$Global:Un1AnalysisLog. - Engine: Modular architecture located in
Un1nst4ll3r.ps1.
