    Question How to uninstall Qt, when MaintenanceTool.exe doesn't exist?

    Problem is in the title, but yeah, I can't uninstall Qt 4 because Maintenance.exe doesn't exist.... and Qt takes over 10Gt space, so I need to uninstall it. Needed it for school and won't need it for another year. If someone knows how to work around this problem, please help. Thank you. Google haven't helped my situation.

    The Qt tools and libraries are usually installed in a directory tree rooted in a single directory. If you are on Windows, look at the Properties for the Qt Creator or Qt Assistant application icons on your Desktop. Go to the directory that contains those EXE files and then up the hierarchy until you reach the root Qt directory. You can delete that and Qt will be gone.

    Of course, if you have used other directories for developing your projects, those won't be deleted along with Qt, but the Maintenance tool won't do that either.

    You can:
    - Open "Control Panel".
    - Select "Programs" > "Programs and Features".
    - Find Qt in the list of installed programs.
    - Select Qt and click "Uninstall".

    If you want to uninstall Qt but can't find the MaintenanceTool.exe file, you can follow these steps. On Windows, you can go to Control Panel, select Programs and uninstall Qt from the list. Otherwise, you can navigate to the Qt installation folder (usually C:\Qt), delete the entire folder and remove the related environment variables. On Linux, if you installed Qt via the package manager, use the command sudo apt remove qt5-default or sudo dnf remove qt5 to uninstall. If installing manually, you just need to delete the installation directory (usually /opt/Qt or ~/Qt).
