Can't uninstall Android Studio

I’m having problems uninstalling Android Studio in Win10, I can’t find the uninstall.exe file. I installed it, but I’m not going to use it, after all, so I went to Control Panel>Programs and Features, but when I tried from there it said it couldn’t find the uninstall.exe and removed it from the list, I have the Android Studio folders in Program Files and all, but that’s it.

I already removed the SDK from the user folder. All that’s left is in Program Files. I tried reinstalling but only creates another installation folder under ‘Android Studio1’.

Thanks in advance!

    Go to C:Users%username%, and delete .android, .AndroidStudio(#version-number), .gradle and AndroidStudioProjects directories if they exist. After that go to C:Users%username%AppDataRoaming and delete the JetBrains directory.

    Just follow Flot2011's directions and restart your PC, and Android Studio is no more on your computer.

    This is what I did to resolve this exact issue:

    1. Launch Android Studio.
    2. Upgrade Android Studio to the latest version when prompted.
    3. Delete C:Program FilesAndroid
    4. Download the latest Android Studio installer.
    5. Install the latest Android Studio. This will replace the files removed in step 3, and install a functioning uninstaller.
    6. Run the uninstaller from the Settings app. Make sure to check the user preferences box so that it deletes the files in %userprofile%.

    I prefer this approach to manually removing directories because the installers and updaters should get all of them and also address any registry changes that need to be made.
