But Revo Uninstaller might be pulling into the lead with the release of version 1.4. This is the first version that comes in portable or installable versions.

- New advanced, safe, and moderate modes when scanning for junk files
- Added option to start Revo Uninstaller in hunter mode on Windows startup
- Added automatic creation of system restore point before uninstalling applicaitons
- Faster operation

As such, you need to painstakingly go through each and every entry, file or folder to make sure it's not accidentally deleting something important or something that it shouldn't.
Revo is a nifty tool in concept, but in practice for me, it was more of a headache.
