Manually Uninstall ScratchPad from Your PC

Here is the manual guide to help you handle ScratchPad removal. Please follow the steps below to avoid any possible mistake and to ensure a successful uninstall.

Step1: Start Windows in Safe Mode

Safe Mode is a Windows mode that uses only the most basic drivers and programs that are required to start Windows, thus to prevent third-party programs from automatically loading or opening. It can be used to diagnose hardware driver problems and computer infections. If you encounter any uninstall problems (such as you cannot terminate ScratchPad processes in Task Manager, or launch default uninstaller from Control Panel), try Safe Mode to troubleshoot your system and remove ScratchPad.

Press and hold F8 key before the Windows logo appears on the screen

Use the arrow keys to scroll down to Safe Mode and hit enter key

Log on to your computer with administrative account

Press the Windows + R keys to access the Run dialogue

Click the Boot tab in the System Configuration interface

Check the "Safe boot" box and click on OK to restart PC

Step 2: Remove ScratchPad

Step 3: Delete ScratchPad Leftovers

Performing the steps above dose not mean that you will achieve a 100% removal of ScratchPad. Usually, uninstalling ScratchPad from either Windows Add/Remove Programs or by its default uninstaller only remove the main executable files of ScratchPad, while its personal settings, cache folder, temporary files and specially the leftovers in the Windows Registry still linger on your computer. Consequently they will stuff your disk space and even degrade your PC performance. It is highly suggested to remove these residuals if you decide not to use ScratchPad anymore.

1. Registry entries

(Right) click on Start icon and then Run in the list

Type "regedit" in the dialog box and hit Enter key to open Registry Editor

Click Find on the Edit menu and type the keyword of ScratchPad or its vendor in the box

Enter Find Next and then F3 to locate and delete related entries one by one

Notice: As Windows registry is a database that stores crucial configuration settings and options, you must be extremely careful when editing registry. Manually deleting registry keys or values here is not only time-consuming but also risk-taking. Unless you are proficient in computer operating, we do not suggest you to modify the registry on your own. And try to backup the entries you gonna delete if you are not 100% sure to do it right. For most common computer users, a professional uninstaller can really spare you from taking risk in deleting ambiguous program leftovers.

2.Files/Folders

(Right) click on Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization

Open Folder Options and click the View tab

Click Show hidden files, folders, and drives and then click Apply

Navigate to C:\Program Files\, C:\Document and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ and C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Application Data\

Identify and delete items associated with ScratchPad in these directories
