How do I uninstall Emacs?

0

Emacs does not come with an uninstall program. No files are installed outside of the Emacs base directory, so deleting that directory is sufficient to clean away the files. If you ran addpm, you’ll need to delete the Start Menu group too.

The only thing that Emacs changes in your system is the registry (if you used addpm to install it). Emacs does not, for example, install any files in your system directory. If you don’t mind the registry settings remaining in the registry, then you don’t need to do anything to uninstall Emacs. If you want to remove the registry settings, then you can use the regedt32 program to remove the Emacs registry keys. Depending upon what kind of permissions you have, the registry entries could have been installed in either HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs.
