McAfee UnInstaller
No file is deleted if it has been modified or accessed within the period
specified by the SpaceMaker page of the Settings dialog box. The default
period is 180 days.
To view or change SpaceMaker defaults, click Settings from the Options
menu, and click the SpaceMaker tab in the Settings dialog box.
Each time you run SpaceMaker you can change most defaults temporarily.
The one default that you cannot change when the wizard is running is the age
that files must be before they can be deleted.

Using Remove

The Remove wizard gets rid of all traces of the application, including shortcuts
and Registry entries. If the application has associated data files, you can
remove those at the same time if you want to. If UnInstaller detects that an
application has an uninstall program of its own, you will be given the choice
to use the application's uninstall program or the UnInstaller Remove wizard.
To start the Remove wizard, click Remove in the UnInstaller window.
Choose the Remove wizard to completely remove:
• An application that you no longer use.
As you buy new programs, old programs become obsolete or no longer
useful. The Remove wizard keeps your computer up-to-date by deleting all
old applications and cleaning up the Registry and operating system
settings associated with them.
• A demo application that you downloaded and decided not to purchase.
Demo applications usually cannot be used after a specified date, but they
still remain on your disk, taking up space. Use the Remove wizard to clean
them up.
• An application that you want to reinstall because it is behaving incorrectly.
Sometimes reinstalling a program from scratch fixes minor problems. The
Remove wizard can uninstall the program and remove all references to it
in the Registry and operating system files so that you can perform a clean
reinstallation.

WARNING: Make sure that you let the Remove wizard create a backup
copy of the application before it is removed. Then you can restore it if you
change your mind in a few minutes or a few days later. When you are
sure that you do not need the backup, delete it to free disk space.
