Bulk Crap Uninstaller (BCUninstaller) is free Windows desktop software for removing multiple applications with minimal input. It detects registered and hidden applications, portable apps, Chocolatey packages, Oculus and Steam apps, Windows Features, Store apps, and Windows Updates. It tries to use each program's original uninstaller, while also offering forced removal or removal by window, shortcut, or directory. After uninstalling, it can find leftovers and clean unused or empty folders from Program Files directories. Other tools include a startup manager, application ratings, Regex filtering, and options to browse, filter, and export application data. BCUninstaller verifies uninstaller certificates and is portable, with settings stored in one file. Version 6 supports Windows 10 or newer and requires the .NET 8 desktop runtime unless using the portable version. Setup, portable, and standalone portable downloads are offered. The software is licensed under Apache 2.0 for free private or commercial use, subject to the license terms. Documentation and an issue tracker are listed for help.
