'How to uninstall Android Studio if it is not visible in control panel and also uninstaller is not in the file location
I am trying to uninstall Android Studio from Windows 10. But it is not listed in control panel and also there is no any uninstaller file. I tried one way by using regedit and going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE there was Android Studio i deleted that file but still there is icon on Desktop and after clicking it opens the Android Studio. Can anyone tell me what to do now?

Since you have already removed the entry from regedit, now you can easily get rid of the desktop shortcut and the files in the Android Studio folder (It is your Android Studio installation folder).
Remove Android Studio Files
To remove any remaining Android Studio settings files, open File Explorer and navigate to your user folder (%USERPROFILE%
), then delete .android
, .AndroidStudio
, and any comparable folders with versions at the end, such as .AndroidStudio1.2
, as well as .gradle
and .m2
if they exist.
After that, go to %APPDATA%
and remove the JetBrains
directory.
Finally, remove the Android
directory from C://Program Files
.
Remove SDK
You might also want to remove Android SDK. For that go to %LOCALAPPDATA%
and delete the Android
directory.

I guess if you are using Windows,You can go to C:\Program Files
folder and then you will find android studio(if installed).From there you can delete the folder.This will uninstall android studio.If you do not see it, it is not installed.
OR
if nothing works, install it again and then uninstall it.
P.S. I don't recommend uninstalling programs by just deleting their folders, it's better to use uninstall.exe
if it exists

If you are using windows 10,
Right-click on the android studio on taskbar it will open three options right-click again on the top option Android Studio click properties select shortcut tab in that check Target something like this "C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\studio64.exe" delete that folder and then goto users\AppData\Local\andoid delete that folder.

Use the Uninstall Command Displayed in the Registry
Use Registry Editor (Regedit.exe):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
you can get the Android Studio path to Uninstall.

This is what I did to uninstall studio. Currently AS doesn't have an uninstall.exe file with it for reasons I don't know. So, I downloaded a previous version of AS as a zip file and then unzipped it. In the first folder of that I found the uninstall.exe. I copied it to the exact same folder in current AS and then just double clicked it. This uninstalled AS but the sdk and others remained. Then I had to manually go and delete individual folders.
Link from where I downloaded older AS: AS archive
