💀 Vanish

A high-performance, minimalist Windows uninstaller.
Force-remove applications and hunt down "Ghost" software that evades the standard Control Panel.

🚀 Core Features

Standard Uninstallation: Cleanly removes desktop applications using system registry data.

Windows Bloatware Remover: Identifies and targets pre-installed Microsoft Store apps that clutter your system.

Ghost Scanner: Deep-scans local drives for application signatures and executables with no registry entries (orphaned software).

Hunter Mode: Point-and-click termination. Select an executable to kill the process and nuke the containing folder instantly.

Batch Uninstall: Select multiple targets and remove them all in one sequence.

🛠 Technical Stack

Built with C# and WPF using the MVVM pattern for maximum performance and stability.

CommunityToolkit.Mvvm: Powering observable properties and relay commands.

Concurrent Scanning: Utilizes Parallel.ForEach and ConcurrentBag to crawl local drives with zero latency.

Self-Contained Deployment: Optimized for single-file execution with no external dependencies required on the host machine.

📦 Installation & Usage
