I have both AVG and AVG Pc TuneUp.
I want to use Windows Defender instead of AVG but to keep using TuneUp.
When I try and uninstall AVG it tells me I have to uninstall TuneUp first.
Will I be able to uninstall TuneUp, uninstall AVG and then reinstall TuneUp
Advice would be appreciated.

Why do you want to keep TuneUp?
If you have Windows 10 then it does a decent job itself of keeping things optimised ... TuneUp in this case is really just snake oil.0 -
I concur ^^^0

TuneUp seems to be able to do several things, ie find duplicate files and shows problems that can be fixed.0

If the general thought is that I don't need it then I will uninstall.0

If you really want to keep it (as it sounds like you do have a use for it)
then you should be able to install it again once you have uninstalled AVG0 -
Hi
Try CCleaner which can remove applications, find duplicates and generally clean up. https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
In fact it will probably remove AVG & TuneUpThis is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
