What is BlueStacks anyway?

BlueStacks is a very useful application for Windows users that allows users to run Android apps as they are actually running on an Android smartphone. It is the best out of very few working bridges between Windows PCs and Android OS and it is pretty darn good at its job. Installing and using Android apps is as simple as doing it on any Android smartphone. You won’t feel a difference between UIs but the advantage is that you would have a bigger screen than your mobile.

The only bad thing about Bluestacks

However many times users face some minor problems while uninstalling Bluestacks. The most common problem is that it allows the user to uninstall the program from the computer but it doesn’t clean up after it gives confirmation to the user that the uninstallation process completed. This leads to the error message that users get when they try to reinstall BlueStacks in the future. The user usually gets an error message: A BlueStacks Software is also installed on this device, First uninstall it to continue..

These leftovers live in the user’s computer as few files in Program Files directory or registry keys. So The real issue is that the user will have to clean these leftovers manually if BlueStacks forget to do so. It is a very straightforward process to remove these leftovers and also cleans your Windows PC so it is the win-win situation anyway.
