How to uninstall PhotoQt in Windows?

I installed PhotoQt, an image viewer software, in Windows 10. Now I want to uninstall it but the app is not listed in Control Panel → Programs → Programs and Features.

How do I uninstall the app?


To expand on the suggestion to delete the installation directory, PhotoQt is likely not adding an entry to the registry so it will not show up in the list of programs.

Uninstaller

It does have an uninstaller uninstall.exe located at C:\Program Files\PhotoQt which you can run.

Delete files manually

You can also delete the files manually. The GitHub readme for PhotoQt even suggests this.

UNINSTALL


If you want to uninstall PhotoQt, simply run make uninstall as root. This removes the desktop file (via xdg-desktop-menu uninstall), the icons, the binary file, and the appdata file. Alternatively you can simply remove all the files manually which should yield the same result.

The files for PhotoQt will be located at:

  • C:\Program Files\PhotoQt
  • %LOCALAPPDATA%\PhotoQt
  • C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\PhotoQt
