How can I uninstall ruby on rails completely on Windows (installed using RailsInstaller)?

I'm a complete beginner to ruby on rails and am just following a tutorial on Skillshare. I installed rails on Windows 7 following the instruction, but have been having issues.

I'd like to uninstall it completely and start fresh.

I saw some posts related to this, but commands like gem uninstall rails don't work because I'm not sure which folder I should be in when I type in that command.

Also, the tutorial is being done in Mac so I'm having trouble following it exactly.

Please let me know if there's a way to uninstall rails (installed using railsinstaller). Thanks a bunch!

How do I uninstall an old version of Ruby?

Uninstall Ruby on Mac with rbenv For rbenv, use rbenv versions to see which versions you have installed. Use the uninstall command to remove a version. This will remove any gems associated with the version as well. If you want to reinstall Ruby, see Install Ruby on Mac for recommendations of newer version managers.

You can uninstall it from Program and Features in Control Panel. After that you can remove the directory to which you installed it. If you didn't change it, then it is C:\Program Files(x86)\Railsinstaller

However, refreshing the software installation is just about the extreme step. What issues are you experiencing? You can comment or add those to your questions.
