In my computer there wasn't a uninstaller in the Start Menu as well. But it worked it the Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a Program, and selecting Python(Anaconda64bits) in the menu.
(Note that I'm using Win10)
In the folder where you installed Anaconda (Example: C:\Users\username\Anaconda3) there should be an executable called Uninstall-Anaconda.exe. Double click on this file to start uninstall Anaconda.
If a clean re-install/uninstall did not work, this is because the Anaconda install is still listed in the registry.
Start -> Run -> Regedit
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Python
You may see 2 subfolders, Anaconda and PythonCore. Expand both and check the "Install Location" in the Install folder, it will be listed on the right.
Delete either or both Anaconda and PythonCore folders, or the entire Python folder and the Registry path to install your Python Package to Anaconda will be gone.
It looks that some files are still left and some registry keys are left. So you can run revocleaner tool to remove those entries as well. Do a reboot and install again it should be doing it now.
I also faced issue and by complete cleaning I got Rid of it.
[Unfortunately I did the simple remove (Uninstall-Anaconda.exe in C:\Users\username\Anaconda3 following the answers in stack overflow) before I found the official article, so I have to get rid of everything manually.]
But for the rest of you the official full removal could be interesting, so I copied it here:
To uninstall Anaconda, you can do a simple remove of the program. This
will leave a few files behind, which for most users is just fine. See
Option A.
If you also want to remove all traces of the configuration files and
directories from Anaconda and its programs, you can download and use
the Anaconda-Clean program first, then do a simple remove. See Option
B.
Option A. Use simple remove to uninstall Anaconda:
Windows–In the Control Panel, choose Add or Remove Programs or Uninstall a program, and then select Python 3.6 (Anaconda) or your
version of Python.
Option B: Full uninstall using Anaconda-Clean and simple remove.
NOTE: Anaconda-Clean must be run before simple remove.
Install the Anaconda-Clean package from Anaconda Prompt (Terminal on Linux or macOS):
conda install anaconda-clean
In the same window, run one of these commands:
Remove all Anaconda-related files and directories with a confirmation prompt before deleting each one:
anaconda-clean
Or, remove all Anaconda-related files and directories without being prompted to delete each one:
anaconda-clean --yes
Anaconda-Clean creates a backup of all files and directories that might be removed in a folder named .anaconda_backup in your home
directory. Also note that Anaconda-Clean leaves your data files in the
AnacondaProjects directory untouched.
After using Anaconda-Clean, follow the instructions above in Option A to uninstall Anaconda.
Method1:
To uninstall Anaconda3 go to the Anaconda3 folder, there u will be able to find an executable called Uninstall-Anaconda3.exe, double click on it. This should uninstall ur application.
There are times when the shortcut of anaconda command prompt,jupyter notebook, spyder, etc exists, so delete those files too.
Method2 (Windows8):
Go to control panel->Programs->Uninstall a Program and then select Anaconda3(Python3.1. 64-bit)in the menu.
Delete related folders, cache data and configurations from Users/user
Delete from AppData folder from hidden list
To remove start menu entry -> Go to C:/ProgramsData/Microsoft/Windows/ and delete Anaconda folder or search for anaconda in start menu and right click on anaconda prompt -> Show in Folder option.
This will do almost cleaning of every anaconda file on your system.
there is a start item folder in C:\ drive. Remove ur anaconda3 folder there, simple and you are good to go. In my case I found here "C:\Users\pravu\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"
