If you wanna uninstall Connectify Hotspot without using Total Uninstaller, you can adopt the conventional method, i.e. manually uninstall program and delete its leftovers. Here are the detailed steps you can follow to uninstall Connectify Hotspot.
Step 1. Shut down Connectify Hotspot
If Connectify Hotspot is running, firstly you will need to deactivated the program by right-clicking on its icon in the system tray and choosing Exit option from the list.
In many cases some associated processes may still run even though the main program has been closed. You can launch Task Manager to terminate related active processes.
- Right click the taskbar at the button and select Task Manager option.
- Select the processes related to Connectify Hotspot and then click End Task.
Step 2. Uninstall Connectify Hotspot
On Windows 7 :
- Click Start > Control Panel, and click Uninstall a program under Programs.
- Locate Connectify Hotspot, click the entry and then click Uninstall button.
On Windows 8:
- Right click Start menu and select Programs & Features from the list.
- Locate and double click Connectify Hotspot to start the uninstall process.
On Windows 10:

If it still cannot be uninstalled successfully, the reason may lie in the lack or corruption of some program executive files. In that case, you will need to re-install Connectify Hotspot, and then perform the normal uninstall in Safe Mode.
Step 3. Delete Connectify Hotspot leftovers
If you think Connectify Hotspot has been thoroughly removed from your system, then you are wrong. In most cases Windows programs are more likely to create some files and folders hidden in Windows Registry as well as your hard disk. If you don’t wipe them out after a normal uninstall, your system will be more and more cluttered.

Notice: We only recommend advanced computer users to manually delete Connectify Hotspot leftovers in Windows Registry. Any improper modification may result in severe problem or even system crash. Always backup your registry before making any change there. Also, you can use a registry cleaner instead to save troubles.
(2) delete Junk files/folders in hard disk
- Head to Start > Control Panel > Folder Options, and then select the View tab.
- Check the "Show hidden files and folders" in Advanced settings and click OK.
- Click This PC on the desktop (or press Windows + E ) to open File Explorer.
- Type Connectify Hotspot in the Search Bar and wait a few seconds.
- Identify Connectify Hotspot leftovers in the result and delete them permanently.
Finally the manual uninstall of Connectify Hotspot has come to an end. The whole process may require much patience and time to complete.
