How to uninstall iTunes completely on Windows

Sometimes, iTunes users won’t open iTunes on Windows computer after they update their iTunes to the latest version. Worse still, some people run iTunes normally on their computer, but the iTunes can’t be opened suddenly for no apparent reason. Just make a Google search with the keywords like “iTunes can’t be opened …” etc. you will find the most solution is to uninstall the current iTunes. But someone try this method, but they still can’t open the reinstalled iTunes on Windows. The most likely reason for this is that they didn’t uninstall the old iTunes completely. Today, after checking the iTunes Technical Support at Apple.com, I summarize the steps of how to uninstall iTunes completely. Note: Before uninstalling your iTunes, you’d better back up your files in iTunes. Although iTunes has performed the backup automatically while synchronization, I still advice you to back up your iTunes music, movies, photos and Apps etc. by copying them to a folder on hard drive or other devices. For the DRM-protected iTunes video & audio files, you can use iTunes DRM Removal software to remove the protection for copying freely. Step1.
