**Windows**

On Windows, use the Add/Remove Programs control panel, select ``~~PRODUCT_NAME~~ ~~MAJOR_VERSION~~`` and
remove it.

**Linux/Unix**

To remove an RPM installation on Linux, type ``rpm -e ~~PRODUCT_SPEC_VERSION~~``.

To remove an Debian package installation on Linux, type ``dpkg -r ~~PRODUCT_SPEC_VERSION~~``.

~~~if WEBSITE:
In Wing Personal the package name is instead ``wing-personal~~MAJOR_VERSION~~`` and in
Wing 101 it is ``wing-101-~~MAJOR_VERSION~~``.

To remove a tar archive installation on Linux/Unix, invoke the
``wing-uninstall`` script in the install directory listed in Wing's `About <script:about-application>`__ box. This will automatically
remove all files that appear not to have been changed since installation.
It will ask whether it should remove any files that appear to be changed.

**macOS**

To remove Wing from macOS, just drag its application folder to the trash.

**User Settings**

You may also want to remove the `User Settings <ref:install/user-settings-dir>`__ directory
and cache directories if you don't plan to use Wing again on your system.
