SourceTree does not fully uninstall

Using SourceTree on windows. I would like to do a full uninstall to re-install. However, I uninstall and delete remaining registry info, on re-install SourceTree skips all of the setup and just opens like it never left. I don't even have to re-login or anything.

Wondering if anyone has experienced this and can help me solve it?

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree

Delete this folder and reinstall the sourcetree.

If you didn't find AppData folder inside users, click view in top menu and check "Hidden Items". Then hidden items will be shown.

I had the same issue, attempting uninstall would simply remove SourceTree from the list of programs in the "Uninstall or Change a Program" menu.

I ended up removing all SourceTree files from C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Atlassian in addition to the SourceTree and SourceTree-settings folder from the Local folder. I backed them up to my desktop just in case, but obviously you can delete these after if it is successful.

After that, the next install prompted regular setup.
