How to Uninstall and Remove iTunes Completely From Your Computer?

Is iTunes not the right fit for you now since various similar music media are out there? Are you going nuts trying to uninstall iTunes these days? Are you driven mad when you fail to remove all the traces of the annoying software which prevent you to install the one you prefer? Anyway, it happened to me before when I used Apple. I am not sure how many means you have applied hoping to delete it. Here I just want to share with you my painstaking experience on how can I finally completely get rid of it with great satisfaction. Let's go!

Frequently used and the easiest method to uninstall iTunes

Like others who are not computer educated, I firstly tried the Control Panel on the PC to remove the application. Please follow the steps:

1. Quit iTunes.
2. Click Start, and hit Control Panel.
3. Find out Add/Remove Programs applet.
4. Click the Change or Remove Programs button on the top of the left list.
5. Scroll down the list and highlight this software, then click Remove to uninstall.
6. Restart your computer after this removal is finished.

After doing all these, I naively thought that I have finished the task and next I could install the one I like. Guess what? I got pop-ups telling me that it is not allowed to install the software because of some errors. Later, I knew the leftovers are the cause. Then let's continue.
