You can! But you need to use the right recovery method and act quickly because deleted application files and data don\u2019t remain recoverable forever.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why_users_uninstall_windows_programs_and_what_happens_when_they_do\"><\/span><b>Why Users Uninstall Windows Programs and What Happens When They Do?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Windows users uninstall programs for a variety of different reasons, including:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><b>&#x1f4af; Insufficient storage space<\/b>: Modern software applications can be surprisingly large because developers now heavily rely on cross-platform frameworks like Electron, which make it much easier for them to write software that runs across all major platforms at the expense of application size and performance. It then takes just a few applications for one or more gigabytes of storage space to disappear, and that can be a problem if your computer doesn\u2019t have a large <a href=\"\/hard-drive-data-recovery.html\">hard drive<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><b>&#x1f193; End of free trial<\/b>: Programs that offer a free trial are great because they let you test how they work before you spend your hard-earned money on them. If you decide that you want to keep using a program after the free trial period has ended, all you need to do is enter a license key. And if you decide that the program isn\u2019t right for you, then you can simply uninstall it to reclaim the storage space it occupies.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><b>&#x1f480; Outlived its purpose<\/b>: There\u2019s no point in keeping software applications installed on your computer if you no longer have any use for them. In fact, it\u2019s better to uninstall all software that has outlived its purpose just so you don\u2019t have to keep it updated to prevent cybercriminals from exploiting known software vulnerabilities.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Regardless of why a Windows program is uninstalled, the consequences are always the same: all application files and, in many cases, associated data disappear.<\/p>\r\n<p>Restoring uninstalled programs is then the matter of recovering the deleted application files and data, and there are two main ways to do just that, and we cover both in the next section of this article.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ways_to_recover_uninstalled_programs_on_windows_1011\"><\/span><b>Ways to Recover Uninstalled Programs on Windows 10\/11<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at how to recover uninstalled apps and their data on Windows 10\/11.

This feature takes snapshots of system files, installed applications, Windows Registry, and system settings and allows the user to revert them back to a previous state.<\/p>\r\n<p>By default, System Restore takes snapshots once a day, and the feature is enabled automatically on all installations of the Windows operating system. The creation of system snapshots is also triggered by certain activities, such as the installation of new software and driver updates.<\/p>\r\n<p>Here\u2019s how to reinstall uninstalled apps by reverting to an earlier system restore point:<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li>Open the <b>Start menu<\/b>.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Type \u201c<b>control panel<\/b>\u201d and choose the corresponding result.<img class=\"border-blue border-radius-10 aligncenter wp-image-42014 size-full\" src=\"\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/control-panel-start-menu.jpg\" alt=\"control panel start menu\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/control-panel-start-menu.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/control-panel-start-menu-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/control-panel-start-menu-500x467.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/control-panel-start-menu-768x717.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Select the search box inside the Control Panel window and type \u201c<b>recovery<\/b>.\u201d<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Choose the Recovery option and then <b>Open System Restore<\/b>.<img class=\"border-blue border-radius-10 aligncenter wp-image-42018 size-full\" src=\"\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/control-panel-system-restore-open-1.jpg\" alt=\"control panel system restore open\" width=\"1387\" height=\"939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/control-panel-system-restore-open-1.jpg 1387w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/control-panel-system-restore-open-1-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/control-panel-system-restore-open-1-500x339.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/control-panel-system-restore-open-1-768x520.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1387px) 100vw, 1387px\" \/><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Click <b>Next<\/b> and pick the restore point that you want to use.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Select the <b>Scan for affected programs<\/b> option and review the results.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Click <b>Next<\/b> to continue.<img class=\"border-blue border-radius-10 aligncenter wp-image-42019 size-full\" src=\"\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/system-restore-select-1.jpg\" alt=\"system restore select\" width=\"936\" height=\"751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/system-restore-select-1.jpg 936w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/system-restore-select-1-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/system-restore-select-1-500x401.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/system-restore-select-1-768x616.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Click <b>Finish<\/b> to complete the recovery process.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>Unfortunately, the System Restore feature has one major limitation: it doesn\u2019t restore personal data stored on hard disks, including deleted application data. That\u2019s where our second recovery method comes in, and we describe it in great detail in the following chapter.<\/p>\r\n<h3 class=\"title_sc_bg\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"method_2_using_a_third-party_tool\"><\/span><span class=\"title_shortcode_bg\">Method 2:<\/span> Using a Third-Party Tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>When you uninstall a Windows program, you often also delete the data associated with it. Since the System Restore feature can\u2019t recover this data, you need to use a third-party tool, and Disk Drill is out top choice for several reasons.<\/p>\r\n<p>To start with, you can download Disk Drill for free and use it to recover as much as 500 MB of data. In addition to its free data recovery capabilities, Disk Drill also offers an intuitive user interface that makes the tool accessible even to users with no previous data recovery experience. Despite being so accessible, Disk Drill is more than capable of delivering professional results when recovering application data and other files.<\/p>\r\n<p>To <a href=\"\/recover-deleted-files.html\">recover deleted data<\/a> created by an uninstalled program using Disk Drill, you need to:<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li><b><a href=\"\/disk-drill-win.html\">Download<\/a> and install Disk Drill<\/b>.

Instead, the files associated with them are permanently deleted.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you\u2019ve read all previous chapters of this article, then you\u2019re probably not wondering how to find uninstalled programs on Windows 11 because you already know the answer: backups and third-party tools are your best bet for finding uninstalled programs.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_to_reinstall_uninstalled_apps_on_windows_1011\"><\/span><b>How to Reinstall Uninstalled Apps on Windows 10\/11?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>It\u2019s not difficult to learn how to reinstall deleted apps because there are only two main methods that you can use:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><b>System Restore<\/b>: When you use the System Restore feature in Windows to revert your computer to an earlier state, you don\u2019t actually reinstall deleted apps, but the end result is largely the same. The only downside is the fact that the earlier state you restore to may not include changes you would actually like to preserve.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><b>App reinstallation<\/b>: If you have the original application setup file, then you can use it to install the deleted app again from scratch (if the app is in the Microsoft Store, then you don\u2019t even need the original setup file). Some application installers are even able to repair broken installations, which can be really helpful if you manage to partially delete an important app.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<div class=\"alert alert-info\" role=\"alert\">&#x1f4a1; Are you frequently installing and uninstalling Windows apps? Then you should consider using a package manager like <a href=\"https:\/\/chocolatey.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chocolatey<\/a>.<\/div>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_to_protect_windows_1011_programs_from_accidental_deletion\"><\/span><b>How to Protect Windows 10\/11 Programs from Accidental Deletion<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Even though it\u2019s possible to recover uninstalled or otherwise deleted Windows 10\/11 programs, you should do whatever you can to protect them from accidental deletion, and the following best practices are a good start:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><b>&#x1f4be; Create full backups of your PC<\/b>: From time to time, you should create a full backup of your PC that includes all applications, user data, and the operating system itself. You can create a full backup using Disk Drill\u2019s free backup feature.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><b>&#x1f9f9; Be careful when uninstalling<\/b>: It may sound obvious, but you should always proceed carefully when uninstalling programs. It\u2019s way too easy to make a silly mistake and accidentally uninstall the wrong program, and it then takes a lot of time to fix the mistake.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><b>&#x1f465; Configure user permissions<\/b>: To uninstall a software application on Windows, you need administrator permissions. If you share your computer with someone who isn\u2019t tech-savvy, it might be good to give them their own account and configure it so they can\u2019t uninstall anything.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><b>&#x1f9d1;&#x200d;&#x1f4bc; Separate work from fun<\/b>: If you use your computer both for personal purposes and work, then you should consider installing two versions of Windows in a dual-boot configuration. That way, your personal and work applications will be separated.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><b>&#x2764;&#xfe0f;&#x200d;&#x1fa79; Check your hard drive health<\/b>: Sadly, hard drives don\u2019t last forever. But you can usually tell that a hard drive is about to fail thanks to Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, or S.M.A.R.T. for short. There are many tools that let you read S.M.A.R.T. data, and Disk Drill is one of them.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span><b>Conclusion<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Learning how to recover uninstalled apps on Windows 10\/11 isn\u2019t nearly as difficult as it may seem at first.
