How do I uninstall portable or software that installs with .exe for example geek.exe (geekuninstaller)​
Is an .exe file considered portable software? If not what is the difference between .exe and portable?​
I would like to uninstall geekuninstaller and install it again because when I open it I get a pop up that says that there is an update available. I extracted and opened the update but when opening geek uninstaller after doing so I still get the update pop up. Please tell me how to fix this.​
I would like to know how to uninstall this type of software not only geekinstaller but other software that is portable or an .exe so I know how to remove that kind of software in the future if I need to do so.

Thanks for your time and help.

If it is a portable application just delete the applications folder.

Any program will need a .exe (or similar) executable file to run the program.

Again if it is a portable app download the new version and overwrite the older one, or if you wish delete the old version and run the new one.
