Question:

Very pleased with the product and in particular the ability to create custom plugins. But here is where I would like more information. Many people would like to remove the $NTUninstall backup folders and associated registry entries from both the hard drive and Add/Remove Programs. Can this be done with a custom plugin? I would be very interested in trying this if I had more information on the capabilities and necessary syntax to achieve this.

Answer:

To remove the $NTUninstall backup folders, you can follow below steps:

1. create a file named removentuninstall.pl under <WinUtilities installation folder>\hc_plugins\apps
2. edit removentuninstall.pl, then append this:
   ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
   ;removentuninstall.pl
   [Information]
   Name=$NtUninstall Folders
   [Valid]
   display=FolderExist %Windows%
   [Action]
   doaction1=DeleteFolderList %Windows%,$NtUninstall*,NotIncludeSubFolders
3. Restart WinUtilities History Cleaner module.

We will improve this history clean module and offer the SDK doucments for advanced users in the further.
