How to uninstall Eclipse?

Haswellx86 · December 13, 2023

I know, eclipse can't be uninstalled easily. You have to manually delete the directories in your user folder. But what I saw is that those folder are only a few MB. Surely the whole editor is not that small. And even after the folder deletion, in my search I can still search up for eclipse and it will still come up. But it won't do anything and there is no file location option and uninstallation option. Help, I want my drive space back.

If you didn't use an installer to install Eclipse, then presumably you unzipped it and put the folder for it somewhere. That is the folder you need to delete. It may be in your user folder, or it may be somewhere else - it just depends on where you put it.

If you are struggling to find it, I'd recommend using a program like Winderstat to see what folders on your system are taking up the most space.
