Uninstall remnants of Visual Studio 13 and above

Microsoft has created a utility that is run from the command line (administrator level needed), which cleans up any leftover files or registry keys that may be left over after a failed un-install.

This can come handy when a VS uninstall fails. If you try to install VS again, you may find that it detects the partial, previous installation and misbehaves.
In my case, it kept insisting that the installation dir was on the D: drive and would not let me change it.


You can find it here.
