Thunderbird was unistalled some time ago but remains on Ccleaner apps list

Hi there, I'm using Cleaner version v6.21.10918 (latest version) and I uninstalled Thunderbird maybe a year ago. This, however is still listed as an app in Ccleaner, but is not listed in the "Uninstall" section. Other recently added apps have been updated correctly in Ccleaner. Any ideas on how to delete the Thunderbird entry please? It's only a cosmetic problem, but still a little irritating ?. Thanks! Screenshot attached.

That wil usually be because there are 'leftovers' from the Thunderbird uninstall that CCleaner is seeing.

Many apps don't uninstall fully but leave files and registry entries behind. (Some do it on purpose, some are just untidy when cleaning up during the uninstall).

Thunderbird is one of those that doesn't fully uninstall if you just do it using Windows, I believe that among other things it leaves behind itself is a user profile in ...\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\

If you have such a folder leftover following an uninstall then I'd delete it and see if CCleaner is still picking up TB.

I suspect that it will still be showing.

Next I would make a note of you CCleaner settings and uninstall/reinstall CCleaner.

You can get the latest installer here: <a href="https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds" ipsnoembed="true" rel="external">https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds</a>

If Thunderbird is still showing after that, or if you want to remove all traces of it, then you need to do more.

You could search for the leftovers manually but I'd suggest using Revo Uninstaller. <a href="https://www.revouninstaller.com/products/revo-uninstaller-free/" ipsnoembed="true" rel="external nofollow">https://www.revouninstaller.com/products/revo-uninstaller-free/</a>

To get rid of the leftovers from something that you have already uninstalled there are a couple of ways with Revo, depending on if you want to purchase it or not.

Method 1


The first is the 'Forced Uninstall' option, that is only available in the Paid or Trial version of Revo.


'Forced Uninstall' uses an online database that has lists of what common softwares leave behind when uninstalled.

Method 2

The other way is slightly more work, but it's free and some find it simpler to do.


Install Revo (paid or free version), then re-install the uninstalled app, and uninstall it again this time using Revo.


Revo will run the standard uninstall and then search for and remove any leftovers.

HiBit Uninstaller is good to use.
