To uninstall Eclipse on Windows 10, manually delete the 'eclipse' folder in the installation directory, remove any desktop shortcuts, and optionally delete the workspace directory to remove all associated projects and settings.

Step-by-step explanation:

How to Uninstall Eclipse on Windows 10

To uninstall Eclipse from Windows 10, you do not need to go through the 'Add or Remove Programs' feature, as Eclipse does not have a standard installer or uninstaller. Instead, you can follow these steps:


  1. Open the directory where Eclipse is installed.

  2. Find the 'eclipse' folder.

  3. Simply delete the entire 'eclipse' folder.

  4. If you have a shortcut on your desktop, right-click on it and select 'Delete'.

  5. Lastly, to remove any workspace configuration, go to the directory where your workspace is located and delete it. However, be cautious, as this will remove all your projects and data within that workspace too.

Uninstalling Eclipse IDE is quite simple and does not require many steps.
