Lately I’ve seen many users complain that they don’t know how to oCam, so I’m writing this page to provide the effective instruction.
oCam captures and records on-screen images, video and audio. One advantage it provides over other free screen capture utilities is the ability to choose cdecs from a toolbar menu. It has a two-part interface, consisting of a main screen and a green-bordered capture that you can drag to resize and place over the screen area you want to record. If for some reason, you need to uninstall this program, and then reinstall it, just download it from the official site, avoiding unwanted programs that may come from unknown resources.
The following instructions should be able to let you know how to remove oCam in Windows.
Remove oCam Step by Step
1. Try the installer.
> If you have problems to uninstall it, the first attempt can be reinstalling oCam by downloading the installer from the official site, and then perform the removal again. Some installer may even provide the option to uninstall the program. If it completes the removal properly then you are done. If not, go to the next step.
2. Use an Administrator account.
> Make sure you’re running your PC as administrator, or you’ll need to provide the permission password during the removal.
3. Quit the program from running in the background.
> Remember to shut down the program before you take actions to remove oCam.
4. End the oCam process.
> Open Task Manager to check whether there is any related process running in the background and end them. This should be able to ensure a smooth uninstall process.
5. Remove oCam from the program list (Programs and Features).
> In the bottom-left corner of your screen, right-click on the Start button, and select Programs and Features. Find oCam in the list, double click it to begin.
6. Provide confirmation.
> When asked if you are sure about the removal or something like that, click “Uninstall/Yes” and follow the default uninstaller to proceed until this part is finished.
7. Open the Registry Editor, where the remaining files (leftovers) can be found.
The entries of every program are written on the Windows REGISTRY during installation, so if you want to complete remove one, don’t skip this part. But modifying REGISTRY settings incorrectly can cause serious issues that may prevent your PC from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any issues resulting from the configuring of REGISTRY settings can be solved. Modifications of these settings are at your own risk.
> Hover your mouse pointer to the bottom right corner until you see the charms bar pops up from the right side, click Search, type “regedit” in the box, and hit the “Enter” key on your keyboard to open the Registry Editor.
8. Delete the related leftovers to completely remove oCam.
> If you don’t want oCam, Delete this folder along with the caches: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Inc.\oCam. Then check for other leftovers by clicking Edit > Find… on the navigator, and searching for “oCam”. Delete the result if found.
9. At last, reboot your PC.
After you perform every step above, the program should be gone. What if you think it too tedious to read and understand and want a simpler solution? Luckily, I prepared the following part.
