Answer 1

If you want a clean reinstall, you will need to delete some more, in addition to uninstalling and deleting the Jenkins home folder. Otherwise, they will remain their forever and will show up after reinstalling. To completely remove everything for Jenkins from Windows (I am giving this information from Windows 10, 64 bit):

1. Open Windows Control Panel and click Programs and Features

2. Right-click Jenkins x.xxx.x (where x.xxx.x, is the Jenkins version), and select Uninstall.

3. Follow the directions.

4. When done, delete the following folders: (note: DO NOT remove the jenkins.jenkins or jenkinswar folders if you want to keep the projects and plugins.)

   C:\Program Files\Jenkins or C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Jenkins.jenkins C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Jenkinswar

5. Restart the computer.
