How to uninstall Typesafe Activator?

votes

I've managed to install and totally screwed up my installation of Typesafe Activator.

Is there a way to uninstall the tool so I can get back to a clean slate and start over?

I'm on Window 8.1 with JDK 1.8.0_25.

How did you install activator? How much got it screwed up? What are the issues? - Jacek Laskowski
running activator new play-scala play-scala creates the folders correctly running activator ui appears to start correctly but localhost:8888 doesnt response. No errors are logged it just seems to activator run stops and doesnt finish. I also some times get a MimeType error message which I cant seem to get at the moment. - Mark Broadhurst
Did you solve it? I'm not on Win8, isn't there an equivalent of the applications panel for it? On 7 you can usually uninstall it as any other program, if I remember correctly... - pagoda_5b
I was deluding myself... even on Win7 there's no uninstaller - pagoda_5b

I just installed activator a few days ago and I also ran into a problem with it (an unresolved dependency for oauth.signpost when I tried to run activator ui. In the end I managed to get activator ui working by deleting ~/.activator ~/.sbt and ~/.ivy2 folders and reinstalling activator. There really needs to be an uninstall feature in my opinion. I hope I haven't inadvertently broken something else by deleting those folders.

Try to locate your .activator folder and delete this. It's usual in C:\Users\<"user">\.activator
