I typed hg init in a directory, but then changed my mind: I'd rather not have this under version control. So how do I undo hg init?
I suppose there is another solution than deleting .hg directories, but I couldn't find the command. Or is it impossible for mercurial to remove itself from a project?

Reverting Local Changes If you use the TortoiseHg client to work with Mercurial from TestComplete, you can cancel all local changes not committed to the repository yet: Select File > Source Control > Revert from the TestComplete main menu.
hg rollback reverts the last transaction, so you'd be left with unfinished merge, which you have to use hg update -C to get out. If you don't want *b (you have it in another clone), then enable the built-in MQ extension and run hg strip -r <*b> . It will get rid of *b and *merge.
If you are still in the draft phase (not pushed elsewhere yet), use the built-in extension hg strip <rev> command. Otherwise, you should do a hg backout , which will reverse the changeset. In case you still need the commit you made, I suggest you export it to import it again in the correct branch, before stripping.
Why don't using
rm -rv .hg/ on Linux/Unix systems or under MacOS
or
rmdir /S .hg on WIndows systems (with the good ol' cmdline, the first example works under the PowerShell too).
It's simple and effective and does what you want: Removing Mercurial from the project.

The only thing hg init does is adding the .hg directory and its contents.
So, undoing a hg init can indeed be done by simply deleting the .hg directory. It really cannot get any easier than this!
