Solution 2: Manual Steps to Remove GeekBuddy on Windows

If you wanna uninstall GeekBuddy without using Total Uninstaller, you can adopt the conventional method, which means you need to manually uninstall the target program and then remove its residuals. Here are the detailed steps to get rid of GeekBuddy.

Step 1. Turn off GeekBuddy

If GeekBuddy is running, you can deactivate the main executive program by right-clicking on its icon in the system tray and choosing Exit option. Yet, some of its processes may still run on the background even though the program has been shut down. So you will need to launch Task Manager to terminate those active processes.

• Right click the taskbar at the button and select Task Manager option.
• Select the processes related to GeekBuddy and then click End Task.

Step 2. Uninstall GeekBuddy

On Windows 7 :

• Click Start > Control Panel, and click Uninstall a program under Programs.
• Locate GeekBuddy, click the entry and then click Uninstall button.

On Windows 8:

• Right click Start menu and select Programs & Features from the list.
• Locate and double click GeekBuddy to start the uninstall process.

On Windows 10:

• Click Start menu > Settings, and click System in the Settings window.
• Click Apps & features to display all the apps installed on your system.
• Scroll down to click GeekBuddy, and click Uninstall next to it.
• Click Uninstall button again and then follow the onscreen instructions.

Windows 10 users can also type GeekBuddy in the Search box, and right click on this desktop app from the search result, and choose the Uninstall option from the list.

Tip: If GeekBuddy fails to complete the uninstallation for unknown reason, you can try to uninstall it after rebooting Windows into Safe Mode. If the app still cannot be uninstalled in Safe Mode, the reason may lie in the lack or corruption of some program executive files. In that situation, you will need to re-install GeekBuddy to cover missing/damaged files, and then perform the uninstall again in Safe Mode.

Step 3. Delete GeekBuddy leftovers

Can GeekBuddy be fully removed by the aforementioned steps?Well, the answer is No. Once installed, GeekBuddy will create files and folders hidden in Windows Registry as well as your hard disk. A standard uninstall sometimes will not help delete those files. If you don’t wipe them out, your system will be more and more cluttered.

• Click Yes if you are prompted to give confirmation in UAC dialog.
• Press Control +F together to open the Find box and then type GeekBuddy.
• Hit Enter (and then F3) to locate the entries associated with GeekBuddy.
• Right click on the keys or values and choose delete option in the list.

Notice: We only recommend advanced computer users to manually delete GeekBuddy leftovers in Windows Registry. Any improper modification may result in severe problem or even system crash. Always backup your registry before making any change there. Also, you can use a registry cleaner instead to save troubles.

(2) Junk files/folders in hard disk

• Head to Start > Control Panel > Folder Options, and then select the View tab.
• Check the "Show hidden files and folders" in Advanced settings and click OK.
• Click This PC on the desktop (or press Windows + E ) to open File Explorer.
