<p dir="auto">I have installed Qt and tried to run some code but it doesn't work. I've tried some fixes but they also didn't work so I want to uninstall it and start from scratch again. The uninstaller doesn't work however. If I try to uninstall it via the uninstaller itself, via the win10 uninstaller, or een by running MaintenenceTool.exe directly, nothing happens. How can I fix this?</p>

<p dir="auto">That is a crash caused by an Access Violation. Unfortunately, that's a very broad error which we can't really diagnose without a debug build.</p>
<p dir="auto">The only realistic way forward is to delete the entire Qt folder and its settings (see mrjj's post above) and try again.</p>

However, the problem at hand is that the uninstaller doesn't seem to do anything.  Before deleting the files by hand (as described in the first reply), I want to see if there is anything more that I can do to help diagnose the issue.</p>

<p dir="auto">MaintenanceTool.exe has the size you specified, but the 5.12.2 subdirectory is actually above 50 GB (if I'm looking at the correct directory) - see the linked image:<br />

<p dir="auto">Yes, it is listed (I included it in the above screenshot), but pressing Uninstall has no visible effect.</p>

It sounds really broken for some reason.<br />
You can either delete the c:\qt folder<br />
and<br />
<img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/4659/Z0DnBw.png" alt="alt text" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /><br />
and download the installer again<br />
or use a tool like<br />
<a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/iobit-uninstaller" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://www.techradar.com/reviews/iobit-uninstaller</a><br />
to get rid of any registry keys too.</p>
<p dir="auto">Sorry but i dont know who to fix this as it sounds the install is incomplete and might miss uninstall files etc.</p>
