Uninstall ReSharper 4.5

I have ReSharper 4.5 in Visual Studio 2008. Now I want to install ReSharper 5, but I can't do it before I uninstall ReSharper 4.5.

How can I uninstall ReSharper 4.5?

Control Panel
--> Add Remove Programs
--> JetBrains ReSharper 4.5
--> Uninstall

Can't you just install Resharper 5 directly? It will override the Resharper 4.5

After uninstalling Resharper from Control Panel, you might still see it in your visual studio.

So in order to remove it completely, follow these 2 steps :-

Click on the Resharper 4.5 installer (exe file) and instead of "Install", select "Remove". It works just like how the Visual Studio installer works, same exe file is used to install/uninstall the software.
Remove the Resharper files from "JetBrains" folder in AppData.

After doing this, visual studio will ask you to modify some settings. Restore it to default and then you're good to go.

You can do it in the Toolbox.
