If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. When we were using the idea, some inexplicable problems appeared in the environment of the idea, and we couldn't find the cause of the problem. Sometimes it may be that an unknown VB script is installed and a lot of environment variables are installed in the system (as shown in the figure below). At this time, you can try to uninstall and reinstall the idea. But if you don't delete the information in the clean registry when you uninstall. Even after installing it again, it still doesn't solve the problem. So how to delete clean IDEA? It only takes three steps.
1. Uninstall the program
If you downloaded a zip file, you can skip this step, the uninstaller is for users who installed the exe program
Open Control Panel -> Uninstall a program -> select idea and click Uninstall. If there is no uninstall.exe, delete the idea decompression package first.
Here you can uninstall all the cache and plug-ins, check the first two boxes, and click Uninstall
2. Delete the registry
windows + R, enter regedit to enter the registry, find the first-level menu HKEY_CURRENT_USER , click the menu in turn:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Prefs\jetbrains
Then, right-click to delete the entire jetbrains folder.
3. Delete residual garbage
