How do I uninstall Visual Studio 2013?

I installed a VS 2013 trial on my Windows 10 PC. Now the trial period has expired and I want to remove it. However I can not find it listed under Control Panel->Programs->Programs and Features!?

You could use the Visual Studio Uninstaller. Its a tool developed by Microsoft and should get rid of the Visual Studio Instance.

  1. Search C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\ for vs_*.exe and you should see one or more bootstrap installers named for the version, E.g. vs_enterprise.exe, vs_community.exe

  2. Run the executable with the /uninstall command line.

Alternatively run the original installer again in the hopes that it offers an uninstall option, if not reinstall it in the hopes it fixes the missing link.
