Uninstalling the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ Toolkit

Note

  • Use Windows Explorer to remove the files.

  • Open a Command Prompt and run:

    rmdir /s <extracted_folder>
    del <path_to_archive>
    

If you have created the symbolic link, remove the link first:

rm /opt/intel/openvino_2022

To delete the files:

rm -r <extracted_folder> && rm <path_to_archive>
