How to uninstall Android Studio if it is not visible in control panel and also uninstaller is not in the file location

Question

I am trying to uninstall Android Studio from Windows 10. But it is not listed in the control panel and also there is no uninstaller file. I tried one way by using regedit and going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE there was Android Studio I deleted that file but still, there is an icon on the Desktop and after clicking it opens the Android Studio. Can anyone tell me what to do now?

Answer 1

Since you have already removed the entry from regedit, now you can easily get rid of the desktop shortcut and the files in the Android Studio folder (It is your Android Studio installation folder).

Remove Android Studio Files

To remove any remaining Android Studio settings files, open File Explorer and navigate to your user folder (%USERPROFILE%), then delete .android, .AndroidStudio, and any comparable folders with versions at the end, such as .AndroidStudio1.2, as well as .gradle and .m2 if they exist.

After that, go to %APPDATA% and remove the JetBrains directory.

Finally, remove the Android directory from C://Program Files.

Remove SDK

You might also want to remove Android SDK. For that go to %LOCALAPPDATA% and delete the Android directory.

I guess if you are using Windows,You can go to C:\Program Files folder and then you will find android studio(if installed).From there you can delete the folder.This will uninstall android studio.If you do not see it, it is not installed.

OR

if nothing works, install it again and then uninstall it.

P.S. I don't recommend uninstalling programs by just deleting their folders, it's better to use uninstall.exe if it exists

Answer 3

If you are using windows 10,

Right-click on the android studio on the taskbar it will open three options right-click again on the top option Android Studio click properties select shortcut tab in that check Target something like this "C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\studio64.exe" deletes that folder and then goto users\AppData\Local\andoid delete that folder.

Answer 4

Use the Uninstall Command Displayed in the Registry

Use Registry Editor (Regedit.exe):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

you can get the Android Studio path to Uninstall.

Answer 5

This is what I did to uninstall studio. Currently AS doesn't have an uninstall.exe file with it for reasons I don't know. So, I downloaded a previous version of AS as a zip file and then unzipped it. In the first folder of that, I found uninstall.exe. I copied it to the exact same folder in the current AS and then just double-clicked it. This uninstalled AS but the SDK and others remained. Then I had to manually go and delete individual folders.
