# Remove Visual Studio

If you encounter a catastrophic error and cannot repair or uninstall Visual Studio, you can run the `InstallCleanup.exe` tool to remove installation files and product information for all installed instances of Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2019. Running this tool should be done only as a last resort if repair or uninstall fail, and may uninstall features from other Visual Studio installations or other products that might then also need to be repaired.
If you experience a catastrophic error and can't repair or uninstall Visual Studio, you can run the `InstallCleanup.exe` tool to remove installation files and product information for all installed instances of Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2019.

In the following instructions, you can run the tool with different command-line switches with the following behavior:
> [!WARNING]
> Use the InstallCleanup tool **only as a last resort** if repair or uninstall fail. This tool might uninstall features from other Visual Studio installations or other products, which then might also need to be repaired or reinstalled.

## Run InstallCleanup.exe

You can use either of the following command-line switches with the `InstallCleanup.exe` tool:

| Switch | Behavior |
| ------ | -------- |
| `-i` | This switch is the default if no other switch is passed and removes only the main installation directory and product information. This behavior is preferable if you intend to reinstall the same version after you run the `InstallCleanup.exe` tool. |
| `-f` | Specifying this switch removes the main installation directory, product information, and most other features installed outside the installation directory that may be shared with other Visual Studio installations or other products. This behavior is preferable if you intend to remove Visual Studio without reinstalling later. |
| `-i` | This switch is the default if no other switch is passed. It removes only the main installation directory and product information. Use this switch if you intend to reinstall the same version of Visual Studio after you run the `InstallCleanup.exe` tool. |
| `-f` | This switch removes the main installation directory, product information, and most other features installed outside the installation directory, that might also be shared with other Visual Studio installations or other products. Use this switch if you intend to remove Visual Studio without reinstalling it later. |

Here's how to run the `InstallCleanup.exe` tool:

1. Close the Visual Studio Installer.
2. Open an administrator command prompt. To open an administrator command prompt, follow these steps:
1. Open an administrator command prompt. To open an administrator command prompt, follow these steps:
* Type **cmd** in the "Type here to search" box.
* Right-click **Command Prompt**, and then click **Run as administrator**.
3. Type the full path of the `InstallCleanup.exe` utility and pass whichever command-line switch you desire. By default, the path of the utility is as follows:
* Right-click **Command Prompt**, and then choose **Run as administrator**.
1. Enter the full path of the `InstallCleanup.exe` tool and add the command-line switch you prefer. By default, the path of the tool is as follows:

```
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\resources\app\layout\InstallCleanup.exe
```

If you do not find `InstallCleanup.exe` under the Visual Studio Installer directory - always located at `%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio` - follow the instructions to [install Visual Studio](install-visual-studio.md) and when the workload selection screen is displayed, close the window and follow the preceding steps again.
> [!NOTE]
> If you can't find `InstallCleanup.exe` under the Visual Studio Installer directory, which is always located at `%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio`, here's what to do next. Follow the instructions to [install Visual Studio](install-visual-studio.md). Then, when the workload selection screen is displayed, close the window and follow the steps on this page again.
