How to remove Rabbitmq so I can reinstall

RabbitMQ writes the service information into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ericsson\Erlang\ErlSrv\1.1\RabbitMQ

To remove RabbitMQ manually you have to:

remove the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ericsson\Erlang\ErlSrv\1.1\RabbitMQ
remove the directory C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ
remove the installation-folder.

Next time I suggest to use the rabbitmq-service.bat command to install and remove the service.

you have to execute it as administrator

I would suggest as follows:

sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove rabbitmq-server
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove rabbitmq-server

It will uninstall rabbitmq and purge all data (users, vhost..)
