How to uninstall/delete Android Studio from Windows completely?
Step 1:
Open the Windows Control Panel and under Programs, select "Uninstall or change a Program". After that, click on "Android Studio" and press Uninstall.

To delete any remains of Android Studio setting files, in File Explorer, go to your user folder (%USERPROFILE%), and delete .android, .AndroidStudio and any analogous directories with versions on the end, i.e. .AndroidStudio2.1, as well as .gradle and .m2 if they exist. You can go this way too: C:\Users\(%USERPROFILE%)
Step 3:
Then go to %APPDATA% and delete the JetBrains directory.
Step 4:
Now delete the any AndroidStudio directories that are in %LOCALAPPDATA% and %APPDATA% that are inside Google folder. Normally here:
