I uninstalled Wondershare Studio from my brother’s computer, but after a week, when I checked his PC files and installed apps, Wondershare was still there. It may not be deleted from your computer also.

But how do you tell if Wondershare Studio (WSHelper.exe) is uninstalled cleanly? Let’s know:

1. Check for leftover files/folders

In Program Files:

Open the file manager and navigate to C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) and search for any folders related to Wondershare Studio

3. Check for Startup Processes

Open Task Manager > Go to the “Startup” tab and look for processes mentioning Wondershare or WSHelper.exe. 

4. Scan for hidden files

Use a dedicated uninstaller tool that can find and delete hidden apps/files. I recommend you to use Revo Uninstaller, IObit Uninstaller or Ashampoo UnInstaller.

These apps will make your work easier.

Search for “Services” in the Windows search bar and find any services related to WonderShare.

If WonderShare Studio is not found even after searching at all these places in your computer, it means that it has been completely deleted from your device.
