How to delete intelliJ completely?
Answered
I was using intelliJ 2020.3.
I needed to delete intelliJ and reinstall it.
So I deleted intelliJ following https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/uninstall.html#standalone (I checked AppData folder and I deleted JetBrain folder inside of AppData\Local and AppData\Roaming)
After that, I reinstalled it. But they skipped a register step. I think some files are still in my computer.
But I want to go back before register step (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/register.html )
I mean I want to delete it completely.
How can I do??
I'm using window 10.

License itself is stored in the <product><version>.key file under the IDE configuration directory.
To completely uninstall, delete folder with IDE installation and IDE settings/caches directories.
Thank you
But, as I said, I deleted C:\Users\JohnS\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains folder and I can't open IDE settings/cache(https://jbs.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544519). The article is deleted.
Can you give me another link?
