Remove Nero From Your PC

Software problems are always unwelcome, but at least you can remove problematic software from your computer. But if a program uninstall does not work, things can quickly get complicated. Program installations are so complex these days that manual program removal is often very difficult, if not impossible. Removing all program files from disk and configuration settings from the Windows registry is rather difficult if you do not know all details.

Program Cleanup Tools

Some software manufacturers offer cleanup tools to remove all details of their software from your PC. This can be very convenient if a failed software uninstall has left you with a corrupt Windows setup that shows errors or won’t let you install new software anymore.

Ahead Nero is one example of a product that can have problems when uninstalling. Trial versions, expired licenses, version upgrades, all of these can lead to a corrupted or incomplete Nero installation that needs to be removed.

Nero offers a number of cleanup tools for their software depending on the versions:
Nero 7 Cleanup Tool
Nero 8 Cleanup Tool
Generic Nero Cleanup Tool (select the Nero General CleanTool tab)

Using these tools it is generally possible to clean up the remainders of the problematic Nero software installation. After running the tools, and rebooting, related errors should be gone and it should be possible to install new, or different versions of the Nero software.
