Clean up after failed app uninstall

I tried to uninstall Desura from a Bottle but the uninstall seemed to fail as some of the files still exist and the app is still listed in CrossOver.

What's the best way to clean up a failed uninstall (other than delete the entire Bottle)? I assume there's some Registry entries that need deleting?

Thanks,
M.

Hello Matt,

In Crossover the best way is deleting the bottle, traditionally uninstallers doesn't work well in CrossOver and also as in Windows they leave dirty. The recommended way is always use a different bottle for each program so is easily after uninstall it.

But regarding your question I will leave to others with more knowledge to answer you about how to clean failed uninstall. You can try also CCleaner.

Regards

Thanks for the info. As I'm new to CrossOver I'll try to use one bottle per application (as recommend in the User Guide) in future.

I couldn't work out how to clean up the failed uninstall so just deleted the bottle. No big deal but I was interested if there was a quickfix.

Cheers,
M.
