How to Uninstall HiBit Uninstaller: Complete Removal Guide

HiBit Uninstaller is a powerful third-party software removal tool designed to completely uninstall programs, remove stubborn leftovers, and clean Windows registry entries. Ironically, you might need to uninstall HiBit Uninstaller itself if switching to alternatives like Revo Uninstaller, simplifying your toolkit, or resolving software conflicts. Below is a comprehensive removal guide with special attention to 32-bit vs. 64-bit systems and Windows 10 vs. 11 differences.

Registry Paths:

- 32-bit on 64-bit OS: SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\HiBit Uninstaller
Windows 10 vs. Windows 11:
