The installer _is_ mingw-get, but most of its run time code, (assuming an installation within C:\MinGW), is found in C:\MinGW\libexec\mingw-get; C:\MinGW\bin\mingw-get.exe is just a stub, to launch it, in either its CLI or GUI personality. > To delete any folder,file or shortcut you do it in the standard way. > Right click the appropriate icon and select the "delete" option. Exactly so. There is no bespoke "uninstall" tool for mingw-get, because quite frankly, none is needed; the development, and maintenance of such a tool would be a complete waste of time, and effort. I'm in complete agreement, that the OP has not adequately specified his, (or her), objective: if it's to expunge everything which is associated with MinGW, then just delete the entire C:\MinGW directory tree. OTOH, if the intent is to remove just mingw-get, then delete any associated desktop or start-menu shortcuts, in addition to: - C:\MinGW\bin\mingw-get.exe (program file) - C:\MinGW\libexec\mingw-get (program code directory) - C:\MinGW\var\lib\mingw-get (working data directory) - C:\MinGW\var\cache\mingw-get (package download directory) Of these, only the last could possibly benefit from a bespoke cache cleaning tool, (which may be included in some future release of the mingw-get package set); in the meantime, manual deletion of stale package files from C:\MinGW\var\cache\mingw-get\packages may be beneficial. -- Regards, Keith.
