Cleaner One Pro for Windows is a system optimization and cleaning tool developed by Vovsoft (often distributed through platforms like Mac App Store, Softonic, or bundled software installers). While it claims to speed up your PC by removing junk files and managing startup apps, many users find it intrusive, resource-heavy, or simply prefer alternatives like CCleaner, Wise Disk Cleaner, or Windows built-in tools.
In this guide, I’ll show you how to:
- 🧩 Fully uninstall Cleaner One Pro from your Windows PC
- 🗑️ Remove leftover files, registry entries, scheduled tasks, and services
- ❌ Fix common uninstallation issues
- ✅ Prevent automatic reinstallation
Let’s dive in!
⚠️ Why You Should Fully Uninstall Cleaner One Pro
While the standard uninstall process removes most of the app, Cleaner One Pro often leaves behind:
- Leftover configuration files
- Scheduled tasks for auto-cleaning
- Registry keys
- Context menu integrations
- Background services
These remnants can cause conflicts with other apps, slow down your system, or even allow partial functionality to persist after uninstallation.
📦 Method 1: Uninstall via Windows Settings (Recommended for Most Users)
Steps:
- Press
Win + I
to open Settings - Go to Apps > Installed apps
- Scroll down and locate Cleaner One Pro
- Click the three dots (…) → Uninstall
- Confirm and follow the prompts
This method works best if Cleaner One Pro was installed from the Microsoft Store or as a modern Windows app.
🧰 Method 2: Uninstall via Control Panel (Legacy Method)
Steps:
- Press
Win + R
, type:
appwiz.cpl
- In the Programs and Features window, scroll and select Cleaner One Pro
- Click Uninstall at the top

This method is ideal for older versions or traditional installer-based versions of Cleaner One Pro.
⚙️ Method 3: Use PowerShell to Uninstall (For Advanced Users & Automation)
If you’re managing multiple machines or want a scriptable solution:
Steps:
- Open PowerShell as Administrator
- Run the following command to list all installed apps containing “Cleaner”:
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.Name -match "Cleaner One Pro" }
- To uninstall:
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.Name -match "Cleaner One Pro" } | Invoke-WmiMethod -Name Uninstall
Note: This only works if Cleaner One Pro was installed using an MSI installer.
🧨 Method 4: Use Revo Uninstaller (Third-Party Tool)
For a more thorough removal:
Steps:
- Download and install Revo Uninstaller
- Launch the app
- Find Cleaner One Pro in the list
- Click Uninstall

- Let Revo scan for leftovers and delete them
Revo gives you full control over what gets removed after standard uninstallation.
🗑️ Bonus: Remove Leftovers After Uninstall
After uninstalling, some residual data might still remain. Here’s how to remove them:
🔹 Step 1: Delete Installation Folder
- Navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Cleaner One Pro
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cleaner One Pro

ProgramData
is a hidden folder. Enable hidden files in File Explorer to see it.

⚠️ Warning: Editing the registry manually can cause system instability. Always back up first.
🔹 Step 5: Remove Context Menu Entries (Optional)
Cleaner One Pro sometimes adds right-click options like “Scan with Cleaner One Pro”.
To remove them:
- Use CCleaner → Tools → Startup → Context Menu tab
- Or use ShellExView from NirSoft to disable unwanted entries

Cleaner One Pro often comes bundled with other utilities or third-party installers. To avoid future issues:
- ❗ Always choose Custom Install when installing new software
