How to remove C/C++ perspective from Eclipse

Some time ago I used Eclipse for C++ development (Linux). Later I uninstalled Eclipse, and then installed it again for Java development. List of available perspectives still contains C/C++ perspective, which is not used. How can I delete this perspective from the list?

Note: Windows - Preferences - Perspectives - C/C++ - Delete doesn't work (Delete button is disabled). Maybe I need to uninstall something else? In any case, I don't need anything related to C/C++ in Eclipse.

From Eclipse CDT Wiki:

  1. Shutdown the eclipse shell that is running CDT
  2. Remove the CDT plugins
    • Navigate to the directory where the CDT plugins are installed (typically eclipse/plugins)
    • Remove the following plugins:
      • org.eclipse.cdt.*
  3. Remove the CDT metadata
    • Navigate to the workspace/.metadata/.plugins directory
    • Remove the following directories (if they exist):
      • org.eclipse.cdt.*
  4. Restart Eclipse

You can uninstall CDT (Eclipse's plugin for C/C++ development).
