Even after uninstalling BlueMail, it may still try to start, which can be frustrating. Don’t worry—there are ways to fix this. This guide will explain why it happens and how to stop BlueMail from starting after deletion.
Why BlueMail Keeps Trying to Start Up
When you uninstall a program like BlueMail, some files and settings may remain on your computer. These leftover files can cause the program to try starting, even though it’s no longer fully installed. These may include:
- Startup settings still registered in your system.
- Leftover files in your computer’s directories.
- Scheduled tasks or registry entries that are still active.
Let’s explore how you can stop BlueMail from starting up again after you’ve deleted it.
How to Stop BlueMail from Starting Up After Deletion
To fully resolve this issue, you’ll need to check a few areas of your system and remove any remnants of BlueMail. Follow the steps below.
1. Check and Disable Startup Programs
First, ensure BlueMail isn’t set to run at startup. Even after deletion, it may still appear in your startup settings:
- On your keyboard Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
- Navigate to the Startup tab.
- Look for BlueMail in the list of startup programs.
- If you see BlueMail, right-click on it and choose Disable to stop it from launching at startup.
2. Delete Leftover BlueMail Files
Next, you should check if any BlueMail files are left behind on your system. These files may still try to run, even if the main program has been uninstalled:
- Press Windows + R, type
%APPDATA%, and press Enter. - This will open the AppData folder. Look for any folders named BlueMail and delete them.
- Afterward, go to Program Files or Program Files (x86) in your C: Drive and check for any BlueMail folders. Delete any folders or files related to BlueMail.
3. Check for Scheduled Tasks
Sometimes, BlueMail may have created a scheduled task that runs automatically, even after the program is deleted:
- Press Windows + S and search for Task Scheduler.
- Open Task Scheduler and look through the tasks for anything related to BlueMail.
- If you find a scheduled task for BlueMail, right-click on it and choose Delete.
4. Clean Up the Windows Registry (Advanced)
If the issue persists, it’s possible that BlueMail has left behind registry entries that are trying to run the program. Be cautious when editing the registry, as this can affect system performance:
- Press Windows + R, type
regedit, and press Enter. - Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwareand search for any BlueMail entries. If you find any, right-click and delete them. - Also, check
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwarefor any BlueMail entries and delete them.
5. Restart Your Computer
Once you’ve disabled startup settings, deleted leftover files, and checked for tasks and registry entries, restart your computer. This will ensure all changes are applied and should stop BlueMail from trying to start up.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you should be able to stop BlueMail from trying to start after deletion. Whether it’s disabling it in startup, removing leftover files, or cleaning up scheduled tasks, these steps will help you fully remove all traces of BlueMail from your system.
