There are few methods to remove Tencent program completely along with leftovers.
Method 1 – Uninstalling Tencent from Program Files
Every program which is installed in your PC has its files into “Programs Files” some of the programs offers an uninstaller there, so we need to find an uninstaller for Tencent program.
Steps to uninstall Tencent QQ PC Mgr
1. First of all, you need to boot your computer into safe mode, safe mode runs only necessary services where it becomes easy to remove such programs.
2. After booting into safe mode open task manager and look for all the Chinese processes, right-click on any one of them and open file location.
Or you can manually open Tencent folder by navigating to
C:/Program Files(x86)/Tencent/QQPCMgr/10.7.16065.215 OR the very first folder in QQPCMgr ( for 64 bit Windows).
For 32 bit Windows follow the same path as C:/Program Files/Tencent/QQPCMgr/10.something or first folder.
3. Now kill all these Chinse processes, Right Clik on it and hit End task.
4. Open the Tencent folder & Scroll down to the bottom, here you will get an uninstaller named as “Uninst“.
Double click on Uninst and you will get another window.
Now click on the First button i,e “White Button“.
Check all these options and click on “Red Button“.
Now click on the first white button, on the screen like below one.
Now it will uninstall Tencent QQPC Mgr from your Windows computer, after that you’ll get another window.
Close it using “X” button and do not click on any other button otherwise it’ll install another bogus Chinese program.
After performing the above steps you will not get the Tencent program anymore.
There is a new variant or 2016 version of Tencent QQ is spreading which changes the buttons position and other interfaces.
After double click on “Uninst” if you get another kind of window like this then –
Do not select any option and click on “White Button“
Now Check all the options & Click on “Red Button“.
After clicking on Red Button you will get another window, click on the first white button.
It will remove Tencent and close the next window using X button as mentioned above.

Method 2- If you don’t find Uninstaller (Uninst) in Tencent Folder.
Sometimes you may not get any type of uninstaller in the Tencent folder which makes it really hard to remove because you can’t even perform the first step to remove this program.
In such case follow these steps while you are in safe mode.
- Download and install Revo Uninstaller from this link.
- Kill all those Chinese processes from task manager.
- Navigate to C:/Program Files(x86) and find the Tencent folder.
- Right-click on Tencent folder and then click ” Uninstall with Revo Uninstaller Pro“
5. Now it’ll take you to the “Force Uninstall” window, where you need to select “Advanced” option under Scanning modes and then hit Next.
6. Most probably you will get an error that ” Running the application’s uninstaller failed! possible invalid uninstall command” because the uninstaller is missing. Hit OK to this error and click on Scan.
7. It will scan for all the registry entries of Tencent, Select them all by clicking on the “Select All” button and then Delete. Further, click Next.
8. At this stage, Revo uninstaller will find all the leftover files and folder, select them all and delete. Hit Finish, few files may not get removed but after rebooting your PC you will get rid of them too.
Reboot your computer into normal mode and you will not find any kind of Tencent QQ software anymore.
Method 3 – Placing the Uninstaller manually
When you don’t find uninstaller then you can try placing it into Tencent folder manually and try to uninstall it, I haven’t tested this method since it was gone while testing methods listed above.
- Download the uninstaller from this Link.
- Place “Uninst” file into C:/Program Files(x86)/Tencent/QQPCMgr/10…. folder. I mean paste it in the same folder where uninstaller is missing.
- Double click on “Uninst” and follow as discussed in the first method.
Let me know in comments if this method is working or not.
Using UnhackMe To Remove Leftover Files & Services
Even after uninstalling Tencent QQ you may have some files left into your Windows machine, you need to delete all the leftovers if you are unable to delete it manually or using the Revo uninstaller.
These files are –
- aow_drv_x64_ev.sys
- qmemulator

Deleting possible malware and other suspicious programs.
Finally, after removing the Tencent program you need to scan your Windows computer in order to find and delete any possible virus, trojan or other types of malware.
If you have downloaded any kind of Crack, keygen or other freeware after that you got Tencent Chinese program then delete those rogue programs.
