How to uninstall mongodb from Windows

Question

I saw a tutorial that said to run this:

C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe --config 

C:\mongodb\mongod.conf --remove

but that command does not work since there is not a mongod.conf file in the folder of mongodb in my windows, also, I don't want only to stop the service, but I want to remove all, including files, services, etc, it is possible?

Thanks in advance I am using windows 8.1

\MongoDB\bin\mongod.exe –config C:\MongoDB\mongod.conf –remove

Answer 2

The one-line command for uninstalling mongodb from windows is:

C:\>C:\MongoDB\bin\mongod.exe --config C:\MongoDB\mongod.conf --remove

Write the above command in your command prompt. Make sure to open your command prompt as an administrator. 

For the long procedure, refer the following step:

1. Navigate to service.msi file and stop your MongoDB services

2. Now go to your C drive and delete all the folders that contain your MongoDB files

3. Then run your command prompt as the administrator and write the following code:

sc delete MongoDB

If the above command throws some error like service not found then go to your services and check whether you are giving proper service name for MongoDB.
