It is not a piece of regular software that you can "uninstall". You're going to have to just install Windows 8 again or use "PC refresh".

Read the FAQ I posted above.

"If your PC came with Windows 8 you may be able to restore it back to Windows 8 by using PC refresh. Your personal files won't be affected, but apps that did not come with the PC will need to be reinstalled and apps that you installed while using the preview may not be available through the Windows 8 Store. To find out more about using PC refresh, see Restore, refresh, or reset your PC."

 

EDIT: I'm really sorry @Thunderjolt. This was meant for@nickpc. Accidentally quoted the wrong person.
