Ask Daria It is worth saying that not only DriverPack Cloud, but also other applications from this developer can be installed on your PC. Therefore, they should be removed in exactly the same ways.
Revo Uninstaller
If CCleaner did not help get rid of malware, then use the Revo Uninstaller application. This program approaches the removal procedure in a complex way: it creates emergency checkpoints, cleans the registry, temporary files, and so on. At the same time, uninstallation occurs directly through Revo Uninstaller (without running the proprietary DriverPack utility).
Manual way
If you don't want to use third-party utilities, you can clean up app leftovers manually. To do this, you need to check the folder where DriverPack Cloud was installed, and also get rid of the remaining entries in the registry.
To clear the folder, you need to open the explorer and enter “driverpack” in the search, and then erase all files and directories in the name of which this word is mentioned. To clean the registry, you need to open the editor using the regedit command, which can be entered in the search bar. Then press the combination [knopka]Ctrl[/knopka]+[knopka]F[/knopka] and type "driverpack". If matches are found for entries or registry branches, they must be removed.
