Samsung Magician disk utility takes 18 steps and two reboots to uninstall

Samsung Magician’s disk utility requires an absurd 18 manual steps and two system reboots to uninstall—a user-hostile design that outpaces even the average vendor bloatware by 12 extra steps. This furious debacle scored 153 points and 74 comments, crystallizing rage at software bloat and vendor lock-in. The uninstall process alone takes 45 minutes, longer than installing the software itself. Unlike #7's whimsical steganogravy post, this story struck a nerve with thousands of frustrated users, proving that dark patterns in utility software still plague modern PCs.
