I've wanted to know how to do this for a long time. I always hesitate doing a "make install" because I know it will almost certainly be a pain to remove. The information there should be helpful in getting this kind of thing work better cleaner, more general. There are scripts that simply listen to what gets installed and then creates a script that when launched deletes all those files, or something like that. This worked beautifully for me, even though I already had run make install before using checkinstall instead.

I'm surprised to see this didn't get any upvotes. This worked to remove the files from the system when no other options worked.

Re: uninstall and reinstall centos Post by lksudha » Thu Nov 30, pm Thank you so much. It can be helpful to consult the documentation for your Microsoft Windows operating system as only utilities from that operating system are used in this procedure. This procedure relies on the Windows Recovery Console or the Windows Recovery Environment that loads from the Windows installation disk, therefore, you will not be able to complete the procedure without access to this disk.
If you start this procedure and do not complete it, you could leave your computer in a condition where you cannot boot it. The "system restore disk" supplied with some factory-built computers that are sold with Windows pre-installed on them might not include the Windows Recovery Console or Windows Recovery Environment.
Do not follow these instructions unless you know the Administrator password for your system or are certain that an Administrator password has never been created, even by the computer manufacturer.
The Disk Management tool opens. The tool displays a graphical representation of your disk, with bars representing each partition. At least two CentOS partitions will be visible.
Windows will not display a file system type for these partitions, but can allocate drive letters to some of them. Repeat this process for the other CentOS partitions on your system.
As you delete partitions, Windows labels the space on the hard drive previously occupied by those partitions as unallocated. You can add this unallocated space to an existing Windows partition or to use this space in some other way. Directions for doing this can be found in the manuals for your non-CentOS operating system.
Insert the Windows installation disk and restart your computer. As your computer starts, the following message will appear on the screen for a few seconds:. Press any key while the message is still showing and the Windows installation software will load. The procedure is slightly different on different versions of Windows:. The Windows Recovery Console scans your hard drives for Windows installations, and assigns a number to each one.
It displays a list of Windows installations and prompts you to select one. Type the number corresponding to the Windows installation that you want to restore.
