This guide will walk you through a clean, complete uninstall of RetroBat. Here’s the most important thing to understand: RetroBat is designed to be portable. By default, it does not install itself into the Windows Registry, add entries to “Add/Remove Programs,” or scatter files across your AppData or Program Files folders. It lives entirely in the folder you extracted it to.

RetroBat is a fantastic portable emulation front-end, bundling RetroArch, EmulationStation, and a host of standalone emulators into one neat package. But perhaps you’re switching to a different launcher (like LaunchBox or Batocera), freeing up disk space, or troubleshooting a stubborn issue. Whatever the reason, uninstalling RetroBat isn’t as simple as dragging a folder to the Trash—especially if you want to remove all traces from your system.
