2023 > Uninstall IDM Completely from Your Windows PC

 Hello IDMLover, if you’ve encountered the IDM fake serial number problem, chances are you’ve attempted to address it by uninstalling IDM completely. Am I correct?

Often, the misconception prevails that uninstalling a program or software through the Control Panel > Programs and Features removes it entirely from our Windows PC. However, uninstalling IDM completely requires additional steps.

Follow these steps to ensure the thorough removal of IDM or Internet Download Manager from your PC. The next time you install IDM, you won’t encounter the fake serial number notification.

However, I recommend exploring alternative solutions to fix the IDM fake serial number issue, as already outlined in the post below:
