revo uninstaller

Could anyone please tell me how to use revo correctly because when I open it to use I do not really know what I am doing and with it also clearing things out of the registery I'm not certain that I wont drop a clanger.

    If you keep Revo

    Click the icon, wait for it to list all programmes, left click the unwanted programme, click the uninstall button at the top, put the dot in advanced, click next, click yes if the programme uninstaller shows, click next to see the registry keys, select them click delete, click next to see the programme file folders, select them, click delete, click next then finish

    Revo highlights the registry keys installed by the software you are uninstalling, giving you the option of uninstalling them or not. (In case one is used by other software, but this is unlikely.) Just accept the default uninstall, as the registry keys involved, are already selected by Revo, you only need to take action, if you DON'T want to uninstall the registry keys.

    If I download and use Glary utilities when it cleans the registry does it make a backup of the registry and if so where does it save it to.
