How can I completely remove Thunderbird from my PC?

Hello!

I started using Thunderbird quite recently. After an unsuccessful installation, Thunderbird deleted it, as well as deleted the profile folder. In order to perform a clean installation of the program.

But after installation, Thunderbird started, to my surprise, already with accounts, and even with add-ons installed. I have not found an answer to my question about the complete removal of the program on the Internet. The only article found from this resource turned out to be without text: just the title. Here is the link to it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-thunderbird.

As a result, I cleaned out the entire registry, as well as all the folders found by the search. And only after that it was possible to install Thunderbird cleanly. In my experience, such deep cleaning has a detrimental effect on the Operating System. And I want to avoid this in the future.

Can you tell me how to remove Thunderbird from your computer COMPLETELY? What exactly should be deleted?

After using normail uninstall tool from operating system, the profile folder is still there.

  1. from windows desktop, enter %appdata% in search box and press enter
  2. that should take you to the appdata\roaming folder. Delete the Thunderbird folder. There may also be a Thunderbird folder at appdata\Local. Delete that one as well.

The above steps assume user installed from thunderbird.net

Deleted the program. Deleted folders AppData\Roaming\Mozilla and AppData\Local\Thunderbird. And it didn't do anything. After installation, the program opened with all accounts, settings, and add-ons. What else do I need to remove in order for the program to install cleanly?

My suggestion was to remove appdata\roaming\thunderbird, not appdata\roaming\mozilla

Thanks! Everything worked out. I really made a mistake last time.

I'm pleased that it worked. Thanks for feedback.
