Symantec Cleanwipe Removal Tool May 2026

1. Executive Summary The Symantec CleanWipe Removal Tool (also known as CleanWipe or NoNav in older versions) is a proprietary utility designed to perform a complete, forced removal of Symantec and Norton security products from Windows operating systems. Unlike standard uninstallation via the Windows Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs), CleanWipe aggressively deletes all leftover files, registry entries, drivers, and services that often remain after a failed, partial, or corrupted installation.
