<p>That will remove your <code>wallet.dat</code>, <code>bitcoin.conf</code> and all the <code>blockchain</code> info, but you will also want to remove the <code>bitcoin</code> directory which was also downloaded and if you added <code>bitcoind</code> to your path you'l want to remove that as well. </p>

That will remove your `wallet.dat`, `bitcoin.conf` and all the `blockchain` info, but you will also want to remove the `bitcoin` directory which was also downloaded and if you added `bitcoind` to your path you'l want to remove that as well.
