If you haven't run a scan yet then there is nothing to remove.  The Remove button exists to remove any logfiles from scans and items in quarantine that ADWCleaner has created on the system.  If you have not scanned yet then none of those objects exist yet and therefore this is nothing that can be removed by the Remove function/button.

If you have run a scan already and it is still grayed out then yes, it is a bug.

I found this information in the ADWCleaner user guide:

Remove AdwCleaner

Even though AdwCleaner doesn’t use any installation process, it stores a few files on the system. By clicking on this button, every file created by AdwCleaner will be deleted, including the quarantine. You may use the application again by double-clicking the file you originally downloaded, as described at the beginning of this guide.

Hello @Gt-truth:

Did you remember to right-click the saved adwcleaner_7.3.exe file and left-click   Run as administrator from the context menu to launch?

That is odd, please try restarting your system to see if that helps.  It could be that one of the program's drivers or other components is preventing it from being removed and if so, restarting the computer and launching ADWCleaner again may resolve it.
