WinRAR is a data compression tool for Windows PC, it open the files with several data compression formats like RAR, ZIP, CAB and ARJ, and also can help people to compress their files into these formats. For the proper ways to uninstall WinRAR smoothly from PC, I found some available ways and will show more details about how to do at the following.

Note, this is no the whole program removal, there are some WinRAR’s registry keys still leaving on the system. The next step you should do is to clean them out of your computer:

• Type “regedit” in Windows search box, and hit Enter. This step will lead you access to the system’s Registry Editor
