We recently showed you how to make iTunes perform faster on your Windows computer. While those tricks do work, iTunes can still be frustrating for some Windows users. If you’re looking to completely remove all traces of it, here we take a look at a couple ways to get it done.

最近，我们向您展示了如何使iTunes在Windows计算机上更快地执行。 尽管这些技巧行之有效，但iTunes对于某些Windows用户仍然令人沮丧。 如果您想完全删除它的所有痕迹，这里我们来看几种完成它的方法。

The Problem with Conventional Uninstall Method

常规卸载方法的问题

When you install iTunes it adds a lot of other apps and features and everything usually works well together, especially if you have an iPod or other Apple device. On the other hand, when you uninstall iTunes the traditional way through Programs and Features in Windows, it leaves a lot behind. Notice here we are uninstalling iTunes, but look at all of the Apple services that are included…

当您安装iTunes时，它会添加许多其他应用程序和功能，并且所有内容通常都能很好地协同工作，特别是如果您使用iPod或其他Apple设备。 另一方面，当您通过Windows中的“程序和功能”以传统方式卸载iTunes时，它会留下很多东西。 请注意，这里我们正在卸载iTunes，但是请查看其中包含的所有Apple服务…

A restart of your system is required to complete the installation…will everything be gone after that?

需要重新启动系统才能完成安装……之后一切都消失了吗？

Unfortunately not. When we open up Programs and Features after the restart, all of those Apple programs and services are left behind…including QuickTime. You’ll need to go through and uninstall each item. Unfortunately, even doing that leaves a lot behind.

不幸的是没有。 重新启动后打开“程序和功能”时，所有这些Apple程序和服务都将落在后面……包括QuickTime。 您需要仔细阅读并卸载每一项。 不幸的是，即使那样做也留下了很多。

Rather than go through a rant about this annoyance like I did a few years ago, let’s get down to business and show how to get rid of everything for good.

与其像几年前那样对这种烦恼大声疾呼，不如让我们开始做生意，并展示如何彻底摆脱一切。

Use Revo Uninstaller

使用Revo卸载程序

Note: Before doing any of the following steps, make sure you’re closed out of all running programs and apps. Also, make sure you backup all of your purchased music to a safe location on another drive.

注意：执行以下任何步骤之前，请确保您已关闭所有正在运行的程序和应用程序。 另外，请确保将所有购买的音乐备份到另一个驱动器上的安全位置。

One uninstall utility you can use to help remove left over traces of Apple software on your Windows machine is Revo Uninstaller. Either the free version or Revo Uninstall Pro (links below) which we show in this example. The Pro version gives you a free 30 day trial, so let’s start with it.

Revo Uninstaller是可用于帮助删除Windows计算机上残留的Apple软件痕迹的一种卸载实用程序。 我们将在此示例中显示免费版本或Revo Uninstall Pro (下面的链接) 。 专业版为您提供30天的免费试用期，因此让我们开始吧。

Revo Uninstaller will list each of the Apple software and you’ll need to go through and uninstall them each.

Revo Uninstaller将列出每个Apple软件，您需要仔细阅读并卸载它们。

The neat thing with Revo Uninstaller Pro is that it will create a Restore Point before removing it, which is handy incase something goes wrong.

Revo Uninstaller Pro的整洁之处在于它将在删除还原点之前创建一个还原点，以防万一出现问题。

It will then launch the default iTunes uninstaller…

然后它将启动默认的iTunes卸载程序…

Then with Revo, you’ll have the ability to scan for leftover files and registry settings, and will be surprised at the number of items it finds. Here it found several left over Registry items…make sure to only select the blue highlighted items then delete them.

然后，借助Revo，您将能够扫描剩余文件和注册表设置，并且会对找到的项目数量感到惊讶。 在这里，它找到了几个剩余的注册表项…确保仅选择突出显示的蓝色项，然后将其删除。

Then the next step scans for leftover files and folders…quite a lot. If you want everything completely off your system, just select them all and delete.

然后，下一步将扫描剩余的文件和文件夹……非常多。 如果您希望所有内容都完全脱离您的系统，则只需全部选择并删除。

It also found leftover Registry items after uninstalling QuickTime and Bonjour.

在卸载QuickTime和Bonjour之后，它还会找到剩余的注册表项。

Manually Search for and Remove More Leftovers

手动搜索并删除更多剩菜

Even with the added help of Revo Uninstaller finding leftover Registry entries, files, and folders…we ran the awesome utility Everything which, as its name implies, searches virtually everything on your local machine. It located several more leftovers that Revo didn’t catch. But you can easily delete them from here.

即使有了Revo Uninstaller的额外帮助，也可以找到剩余的注册表项，文件和文件夹……我们还是运行了令人敬畏的实用程序。 它找到了Revo没发现的其他剩菜。 但是您可以轻松地从此处删除它们。

Other terms you should search for are Apple, QuickTime, and iPod.

您应该搜索的其他术语是Apple，QuickTime和iPod。

Being the curious geeks we are, we navigated to some different directories we thought some Apple remnants my still be, and we found them. For example here in C:\Program Files.

作为一个好奇的极客，我们导航到了一些我认为仍然存在的Apple残余物的不同目录，并找到了它们。 例如在这里C：\ Program Files。

Also in C:\Users\computer_name\Roaming\Apple Computer.

同样在C：\ Users \ computer_name \ Roaming \ Apple Computer中。

And C:\Users\computer_name\AppData\Local we found some empty folders.

和C：\ Users \ computer_name \ AppData \ Local，我们发现了一些空文件夹。

Some QuickTime leftovers were found in C:\Users\Computer_Name\AppData\LocalLow. We deleted all of the leftovers manually.

在C：\ Users \ Computer_Name \ AppData \ LocalLow中发现了一些QuickTime剩余项。 我们手动删除了所有剩菜。

To make sure you can see your AppData folder go to Folder Options and select Show Hidden Files,folders, and drives.

为了确保您可以看到AppData文件夹，请转到“文件夹选项”，然后选择“显示隐藏的文件，文件夹和驱动器”。

Clean Registry

清理注册表

At this point you should be pretty good and most of the annoying iTunes and QuickTime leftovers should be gone. If you really want to be thorough, you can manually search the Registry for terms like iTunes, QuickTime, Apple..etc. But using this method isn’t for everyone, and you really need to pay attention to what your deleting. If you decide to do this, make sure to backup your Registry first.

此时，您应该还不错，并且大多数烦人的iTunes和QuickTime遗留物都应该消失了。 如果您真的想彻底了解，可以手动在注册表中搜索iTunes，QuickTime，Apple..etc等术语。 但是，并不是所有人都可以使用这种方法，因此您确实需要注意删除内容。 如果您决定这样做，请确保先备份注册表。

An easier method for most users would be to run a cleanup utility like CCleaner. If you haven’t already installed CCleaner you can get it from the link below, including the portable version. When installing it though, make sure to uncheck installing the worthless Yahoo Toolbar.

对于大多数用户而言，一种更简单的方法是运行诸如CCleaner的清理实用程序。 如果尚未安装CCleaner，则可以从下面的链接中获得它，包括便携式版本。 不过，在安装时，请确保取消选中毫无价值的Yahoo Toolbar。

When we ran it, there were Registry settings still there that we could get rid of.

当我们运行它时，仍然有我们可以摆脱的注册表设置。

When selecting to fix the issues, it offers to backup the registry which again is always a great idea before making any changes.

选择修复问题时，它可以备份注册表，这在进行任何更改之前总是一个好主意。

Another thing that doesn’t hurt to make sure everything is gone is to run Disk Cleanup.

确保一切都没有问题的另一件事是运行磁盘清理。

While the Disk Cleanup utility will find and remove unneeded files and programs from your disk…it doesn’t get everything. You also might want to manually delete your Temp folder by typing %temp% into the Search box in the Start Menu and hit Enter.

虽然“磁盘清理”实用程序可以从磁盘中查找并删除不需要的文件和程序，但它并不能提供所有内容。 您可能还想通过在“开始”菜单的“搜索”框中键入％temp％ ，然后按Enter来手动删除Temp文件夹。

Now hit Ctrl+A to select everything in the Temp folder and then Delete.

现在按Ctrl + A ，在Temp文件夹中选择所有内容，然后单击Delete。

ByeTunes

再见

While Revo and CCleaner are valuable tools in helping you manually remove all traces of iTunes and any thing Apple, another free utility to consider is ByeTunes. In our tests, it seems to remove iTunes well enough, but not all the other stuff like Mobile Support, Bonjour…etc.

虽然Revo和CCleaner是帮助您手动删除iTunes的所有痕迹以及任何Apple物品的有价值的工具，但另一个需要考虑的免费实用程序是ByeTunes。 在我们的测试中，似乎可以很好地删除iTunes，但不能删除所有其他东西，例如Mobile Support，Bonjour…等。

So you can start with it, then go through and manually remove the rest.

因此，您可以从中开始，然后逐步完成并手动删除其余部分。
