3 There are three ways to remove Vim: | |
4 | |
5 1. With the GUI uninstaller. | |
6 This is only available when Vim was installed with the self-installing | |
7 executable. This has a minimal number of questions. It can delete | |

8 everything that was installed. This also unregisters the VisVim.dll. |
7 | 9 |
10 2. With uninstal.exe. | |
11 This removes most installed items, but does not delete the files you | |
12 unpacked. | |
13 | |
14 3. By hand. | |
15 This is a bit more work, but you can decide exactly what you want to | |
16 remove. For uninstalling the "Edit with Vim" popup menu entry you still | |
17 have to use uninstal.exe. | |
18 | |
19 It's recommended to use the method that matches with how you installed Vim. | |

20 Thus if you installed Vim by hand, delete it by hand. |
7 | 21 |
22 The first two methods should be available from the Add/Remove software window | |
23 and the Vim entry in the Start menu. If these have been removed already, find | |
24 "uninstall-gui.exe" or "uninstal.exe" in the Vim directory. | |
25 Running these programs should be self-explanatory. Carefully read the | |
26 messages to avoid deleting something you want to keep. | |
27 | |
28 Here are guidelines for removing Vim by hand: | |
29 | |
30 1. Remove the "Edit with Vim" popup menu entry, if it exists. This will only | |
31 be on MS-Windows 95/98/NT. This is done by running the uninstal.exe | |
32 program. It removes the registry entries for the "Edit with Vim" popup | |
33 menu entry. You only need to run uninstal.exe when you have installed the | |
34 menu entry. You can also run uninstal.exe from the Control panel with the | |
35 Add/Remove programs application. | |

37 can skip this. |
7 | 38 |
39 2. Only if you have used the OLE version of gvim: Remove the registration of | |
40 this program by running "gvim -unregister" in a console window. | |
41 | |
42 3. Delete the executables. If you copied the executables to another location, | |
43 you will have to delete them from where you copied them to. If you don't | |
44 remember where they are, look in the directories from the $PATH environment | |
45 variable. | |
46 If you created .bat files when installing Vim, also search for vim.bat, | |
47 gvim.bat, etc. | |

49 4. If you want to completely delete vim, and are not going to install another |
7 | 50 version, you can delete the vimrc files that you created. These are |
51 normally located in a directory like "C:\vim". If the $VIM environment | |
52 variable is set, it will tell the name of the directory. Normally you can | |
53 delete everything in this directory. Warning: You might have put some | |
54 files there that you would like to save. If you did remove it all, you can | |
55 skip the next step. | |
56 | |
57 5. Delete the distributed files. If you followed the directions, these will | |

59 variable is set, the directory will be $VIM\vim80. Delete the "vim80" |
7 | 60 directory and all that is in it. Warning: If you changed any of the |
61 distributed files, or added some of your own files, you might want to save | |
62 these first. But normally you would not have changed or added files here. | |
63 | |
64 6. Remove setting the $VIM and $VIMRUNTIME environment variable and adjust | |
65 $PATH. $VIM only needs to be removed if you are not going to install | |
66 another version of Vim. $VIMRUNTIME is mostly not set. Check if $PATH | |
67 contains the path of the vim directory. Note that $PATH may be set in | |
68 several places, you will have to find the right one, and only delete the | |
69 Vim path from it. You can most likely find the lines that set $PATH, $VIM | |
70 and/or $VIMRUNTIME in C:\autoexec.bat. Under Windows NT you might need to | |
71 use the "System Properties" editor to change the environment variables, if | |
72 they are not in the C:\autoexec.bat file. You can start it by selecting | |
73 Start/Settings/Control Panel and then "System". | |
74 | |
75 7. If you added a Vim entry in the start menu, delete it. | |
76 | |
77 8. If you created icons for Vim on the desktop, delete them. | |
78 | |
79 Vim does not use .ini files. The above should remove all Vim files, except | |
80 the ones that you moved elsewhere yourself. |
