    Hello there.
    I wanted to remove everything regarding Qt in my computer and reinstall it due to some reasons. Before I uninstalled the Qt Creator I had had a specified kit in Tools/Options/. Let's call it "special-kit" and the compilers, Qt verison or anything like that was specified.

    After I uninstalled and reinstalled the Qt Creator, I found that the "special-kit" was still there in the kit dialog. It seems to me that there is something recording the configuration of Qt Creator.

    What should I do to remove Qt completely and "clean" it as if it had never been there. and reinstall the Qt Creator as clean as possible?

      QtCreator detects installed Qt versions and compilers. So, maybe it just detected everything again?
      Also, uninstalling QtCreator maybe does not remove its configuration. On Windows settings are stored under c:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData
