Hi Susan,
as Jan said, Revo Uninstaller seems to be able to cleanly uninstall everything.
Having said that, I think the guys at Actual Tools need to have a look at this beta expiry situation. Either by e.g providing a beta4 download with extended time limit, so that the users don't have to put up with this nuisance and the programers can work on the next version without extra time pressure or make sure that the installation of the previous stable version really removes the time limitation.
Just my 2 cents

Sorry guys, I've been messing with this for hours and hadn't realised there had been a string of posts in the meantime. My bad. Apologies.
Especially as the board won't let me go back and edit what I wrote.
Hope no-one took offence? Please?
Anyhoo. I'll give Revo and the other suggestions a try. Thanks for the info.
Susi xx
EDIT:
Thanks to all, especially Jan (and Max). 
All sorted now.
Reloaded my previously saved customisations back in, and all is back to normal with 8.1.4.
A very happy bunny again.

Susi, you are referencing using Revo for a future Beta, yes? Do Revo let you uninstall an app that was already installed before you installed Revo? Does it keep unique install history or can you trick it (by design) where you can then install the AWM beta and have Revo record the activity, then reverse that activity thereby removing the offending beta?
Ladies? Gentlemen?

Sincerely,
Lars

This popup is a pain in the rear!
I'm an avid gamer, and it keeps popping up on my games monitor right in the middle of doing things.
How do I unregister as a beta tester, please?

Hahaha, I thought it's just me when I tried to uninstall Beta 4 and install 8.1.4. It was really weird because I deleted everything from registry (I thought so) and restarted many times computer and all the time Beta 4 showed up.
At the end I found somehow old version 7.2 and installed it just temporarily until new beta arrives but now I'm going to try this Revo Uninstaller. To uninstall programs i use simply CCleaner and Windows Install Clean Up (for some setups).
Thanks for Revo Uninstaller idea, since it worked for you, then should work here too.
Edit: Yeah Revo worked 100%. Thank you very much!

Just give it a try - it doesn't do more than making Backups and deinstalling the program with its uninstaller when you don't choose other options.
Cheers,
Jan

No, Revo even works with programs that haven't been installed with Revo. It scans for registry entries, folders and files that seem to belong to the uninstalled program (partly by observing the uninstaller, I guess), and it most often shows the correct items. Nevertheless you should examine the list and decide what can be securely deleted (Revo doesn't pre-sel ect anything).
