How to Remove uTorrent’s EpicScale From Your Computer


You’ll want to start by using their uninstaller, which really doesn’t work well at all. But if you don’t use it, you’ll probably have more trouble getting rid of it, so just head to Uninstall programs in Control Panel and click on it and click Uninstall.

Now open up Windows Explorer and go to C:\ProgramData\ and you’ll see an EpicScale folder. Delete this folder.


Note: if you don’t see it, go to Organize -> File and Folder Options and enable seeing hidden files. You also might want to check C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86) just in case.


In case you were wondering, that folder has loads of stuff left over even after uninstall. We used the uninstall a couple of times, and it seemed like every time it did something different.

Now you’re going to want to use the WIN + R keyboard shortcut to open up the Registry Editor. Type regedit into the Open box and hit OK.



Navigate down to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software and find the EpicScale key and delete it.


Now head to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and find the EpicScale key and delete it (this one may or may not be there).



Anybody that bundles crapware in their installer shouldn’t be trusted.

You should probably go uninstall uTorrent and find a better client, because they will probably do this type of thing to you again.
