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，我們向您展示了如何使iTunes在Windows計算機上更快地執行。盡管這些技巧行之有效，但iTunes對于某些Windows用戶仍然令人沮喪。如果您想完全刪除它的所有痕跡，這里我們來看幾種完成它的方法。

The Problem with Conventional Uninstall Method

常規卸載方法的問題

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…

當您安裝iTunes時，它會添加許多其他應用程序和功能，并且所有內容通常都能很好地協同工作，特別是如果您使用iPod或其他Apple設備。另一方面，當您通過Windows中的“程序和功能”以傳統方式卸載iTunes時，它會留下很多東西。請注意，這里我們正在卸載iTunes，但是請查看其中包含的所有Apple服務…

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

需要重新啟動系統才能完成安裝……之后一切都消失了嗎？

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.

不幸的是沒有。重新啟動后打開“程序和功能”時，所有這些Apple程序和服務都將落在后面……包括QuickTime。您需要仔細閱讀并卸載每一項。不幸的是，即使那樣做也留下了很多。

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.

與其像幾年前那樣對這種煩惱大聲疾呼，不如讓我們開始做生意，并展示如何徹底擺脫一切。

Use Revo Uninstaller

使用Revo卸載程序

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：執行以下任何步驟之前，請確保您已關閉所有正在運行的程序和應用程序。 另外，請確保將所有購買的音樂備份到另一個驅動器上的安全位置。

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是可用于幫助刪除Windows計算機上殘留的Apple軟件痕跡的一種卸載實用程序。我們將在此示例中顯示免費版本或Revo Uninstall Pro (下面的鏈接) 。專業版為您提供30天的免費試用期，因此讓我們開始吧。

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

Revo Uninstaller將列出每個Apple軟件，您需要仔細閱讀并卸載它們。

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的整潔之處在于它將在刪除還原點之前創建一個還原點，以防萬一出現問題。

It will then launch the default iTunes uninstaller…

然后它將啟動默認的iTunes卸載程序…

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，您將能夠掃描剩余文件和注冊表設置，并且會對找到的項目數量感到驚訝。在這里，它找到了幾個剩余的注冊表項…確保僅選擇突出顯示的藍色項，然后將其刪除。

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，下一步將掃描剩余的文件和文件夾……非常多。如果您希望所有內容都完全脫離您的系統，則只需全部選擇并刪除。

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

在卸載QuickTime和Bonjour之后，它還會找到剩余的注冊表項。

Manually Search for and Remove More Leftovers

手動搜索并刪除更多剩菜

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的額外幫助，也可以找到剩余的注冊表項，文件和文件夾……我們還是運行了令人敬畏的實用程序。它找到了Revo沒發現的其他剩菜。但是您可以輕松地從此處刪除它們。

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

您應該搜索的其他術語是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.

作為一個好奇的極客，我們導航到了一些我認為仍然存在的Apple殘余物的不同目錄，并找到了它們。例如在這里C：\ Program Files。

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

同樣在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，我們發現了一些空文件夾。

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中發現了一些QuickTime剩余項。我們手動刪除了所有剩菜。

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

為了確保您可以看到AppData文件夾，請轉到“文件夾選項”，然后選擇“顯示隱藏的文件，文件夾和驅動器”。

Clean Registry

清理注冊表

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.

此時，您應該還不錯，并且大多數煩人的iTunes和QuickTime遺留物都應該消失了。如果您真的想徹底了解，可以手動在注冊表中搜索iTunes，QuickTime，Apple..etc等術語。但是，并不是所有人都可以使用這種方法，因此您確實需要注意刪除內容。如果您決定這樣做，請確保先備份注冊表。

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.

對于大多數用戶而言，一種更簡單的方法是運行諸如CCleaner的清理實用程序。如果尚未安裝CCleaner，則可以從下面的鏈接中獲得它，包括便攜式版本。不過，在安裝時，請確保取消選中毫無價值的Yahoo Toolbar。

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

當我們運行它時，仍然有我們可以擺脫的注冊表設置。

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

選擇修復問題時，它可以備份注冊表，這在進行任何更改之前總是一個好主意。

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

確保一切都沒有問題的另一件事是運行磁盤清理。

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.

雖然“磁盤清理”實用程序可以從磁盤中查找并刪除不需要的文件和程序，但它并不能提供所有內容。您可能還想通過在“開始”菜單的“搜索”框中鍵入％temp％ ，然后按Enter來手動刪除Temp文件夾。

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

現在按Ctrl + A ，在Temp文件夾中選擇所有內容，然后單擊Delete。

ByeTunes

再見

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.

雖然Revo和CCleaner是幫助您手動刪除iTunes的所有痕跡以及任何Apple物品的有價值的工具，但另一個需要考慮的免費實用程序是ByeTunes。在我們的測試中，似乎可以很好地刪除iTunes，但不能刪除所有其他東西，例如Mobile Support，Bonjour…等。

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

因此，您可以從中開始，然后逐步完成并手動刪除其余部分。
