Here are two little tips to ensure a smooth removal of VirtualDJ

(1) exit out of VirtualDJ before the uninstall

If VirtualDJ runs on the background and minimize itself in the system tray, you can right click on its icon in system tray, and choose Quit option to shut it down.

Besides, you can detect and kill any VirtualDJ-associated process via Task Manager:

  • Right click the taskbar at the button and select Task Manager from the list
  • Select the processes pertaining to Advanced IP Scanner and click End Task button

(2) Launch the uninstaller in installation folder

What if VirtualDJ doesn’t appear in the list of installed apps or there is no response when you click Uninstall option? That could happen when you have tried to remove VirtualDJ incompletely, or when some of the executive files are damaged or missing.

In that case, you can try to directly launch VirtualDJ’s built-in uninstaller, which is by default located in This PC > C: > Program Files. Once you open up the installation folder, you should be able to find a file named Uninst000.exe or Uninstall.exe. Try to open up the file, click Yes in UAC, and the VirtualDJ Setup wizard should show up.
