How to remove “Friend Around” from the computer: simple methods

The Friend Around application was created specifically for users of the same name social network (as it is believed, it is the network). However, many users often have questions about how to remove “Friend Around” from the computer, since in most cases the client program is not used for communication. There is nothing particularly complicated about this. For consideration, some of the simplest methods are proposed using tools of stationary and mobile systems, as well as third-party software.

What is Friend Around?

Let's start with the very concept of what this network is and in addition to it an installed applet. Frankly, to call it a social network somehow the language does not turn. It is rather a messenger in the image of ICQ, Mail.Ru Agent, Viber, Telegram or Skype with limited capabilities. One could also cite “My World” as an example, but there are at least personal pages, but there is nothing of the kind here.

Yes, indeed, among registered users you can find many acquaintances, but this does not mean at all that it will be possible to browse their pages or make their own publications, such as is provided, for example, on Facebook. It all comes down to the banal sending of short text messages, and in terms of viewing profiles are available only with a minimal set of data. It is not surprising that many have questions about how to remove the “Friend Around” profile, correspondence, or even the computer or mobile applet itself. To begin, consider a few simple steps in the program itself, since the user installed it on a computer or on a mobile gadget.

How to delete a Friend Around account (profile and correspondence)?

By and large, you can delete absolutely all data in the most dramatic way by deleting a registered account, which can be restored within thirty days from the date of application.

But, suppose the user does not want to delete the program itself, but tries to get rid of only the message history. The question of how to delete the “Friend Around” correspondence in Windows is solved quite simply by entering the dialog section with the user for whom you want to delete and pressing the delete button for all messages. The same applies to mobile applets, since the interface of the messenger itself for different operating systems is not particularly different.

How to remove “Friend Around” from the computer as a program: system tools

Another thing is uninstalling the program itself (stationary or mobile). In smartphones or tablets, this can be done through application settings or using any optimizer that has in its arsenal a tool to remove installed (or system) applets like the All-in-One Toolbox or something similar.

In Windows, the problem of how to remove "Friend Around" from the computer is, in most cases, solved by the simplest method by using the standard section of programs and components located in the "Control Panel".

Many users for some reason think that the disappearance of the program icon from the “Desktop” at the end of the uninstall process indicates a successful completion of the process and the complete removal of the program. Nothing like this! And try to search in the same "Explorer" by the name of the application or by the publisher! You will find so many residual components that you can only compare them with those installed under the auspices of Mail.Ru (and you can’t always remove them manually). If files and folders are locked, use the Unlocker application (sometimes even admin rights do not help).

After that, it is advisable to run some kind of optimizer or a highly specialized registry cleaner program to clean up all the “tails” there too. And only after that we can talk about the successful removal of the program from the computer.

Additional utilities

Even easier, so as not to use a manual technique, the question of how to remove “Friend Around” from the computer in full is resolved through the use of uninstallers.

One of the most powerful seems to be iObit Uninstaller. The list of installed applications is very similar to the standard shell of programs and components of Windows, so first you just need to find the desired applet and follow the standard uninstall procedure.

Then you should use a powerful scan, during which the remainders in the file system and registry will be found, which will save the user from their independent search. Usually, all found items are highlighted automatically. If this does not happen, select all that is, and then delete with the activation of the file destruction function (the item at the bottom of the main program window).

Brief summary

That's all for two completely simple ways to delete the described messenger. It remains to add that questions of uninstalling this application can be encountered quite often, since the program itself does not constitute anything special and is created on the basis of more powerful applications that have advanced features in comparison with this applet.
