Hello @CSche.4​,

That can be easily done by opening the "Apps & features" settings pane of Windows.

You can simply write "Add or remove programs" in the Windows search bar.

current installation is:

F:\TouchGFX\4.21.3\env\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat

_legacyfs_online_stmicro_images_0693W00000bkaisQAA.pngit seems a residue of directories are left behind with each uninstall.

But 4.19, 4.20 will not disappear at all .
