How To Remove Our Ubuntu Wubi Install!

So if you followed along with our last video on how to use Wubi you'll know how easy it was to install our dual boot setup using Wubi.  But what would happen if down the road a few weeks or a couple of months you decide you need to reclaim the used hard drive space for other needs and wish to remove Ubuntu.  How hard is that to do?

If you have ever removed a traditional dual boot partition you'll remember that on occasion things don't always go as planned during the removal and you may end of with a bad MBR or no bootloader, etc.  The fix for this can be rather simple or you could end up with a non-booting system.  This is where Wubi shines, because this isn't the case with a Wubi install.

Should you decide to wipe your Ubuntu install (installed with Wubi) all you need to do is boot into Windows. Once in Windows, jump into the Control Panel and hit up the 'Add/Remove Programs' applet.  Find Ubuntu in the list of installed software and select to remove it.  After a short removal process, it will be gone.  Simple as that.
