Then a bunch of others really similar to the ones above, so I would assume I can do to them the same thing. Can I just delete it, together with the entire Microsoft Visual Studio folder? What else should I delete to really completely uninstall Visual Studio? Are there perhaps also registries left behind that should go away? Where can I find some documentation about it?Ī search on my computer revealed the following folders that may or may not be there because I ever installed Visual Studio: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual StudioĬ:\Users\myotheruser\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Visual StudioĬ:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\Visual Studio SetupĬ:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio ServicesĬ:\Windows\SysWOW64\Visual Studio 2019TemplatesĬ:\Windows\System32\Tasks_Migrated\Microsoft\VisualStudioĬ:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudioĬ:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudioĬ:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VSTA\AppInfoDocument\.AppInfoDocumentĬ:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\.Adapter.v9.0 The above file still exists on my computer and it obviously came from the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer. 98e8da4d2c7a4d1aa6e0d6e8ca2a3a02\resources\app\layout\installCleanup.exe Then I read the official documentation about Removing Visual Studio where it says that I should run installCleanup.exe -f, which I did, with the exception that on my computer I found it under:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer. Then I went to Apps and features and uninstalled visual studio from there as well.

I used its own installer to remove all the Installed components.

I am trying to make the computer as close as possible as if Visual Studio would have never been installed on it.
