Unknown origin of Cypress, no uninstaller, not a node user #30384

You should be able to resolve your issue by deleting the Windows directories
|
I 7-Zip'ped the mentioned directories, deleted the directories, time went by and no unexpected events as result. There were some firewall rules, they needed to be removed aswell. Discovered only a few days ago. They were identified by the path to the mentioned locations above. I was not able to provide a removal script for automation. There are a few remnants in the Registry, appears to be part of Windows' housekeeping, or mitigations of sorts, as paths were located in subdirectories of the mentioned locations above. Examples
But my subkey Thank you. |
In the meantime a documentation section Uninstall Cypress has been added that details the manual steps necessary to uninstall. |

In this situation, as expected, a) uninstall.exe, b) uninstallable entry in currently "Installed Apps", formerly 'Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features'.

Debug Logs
I need to know how (by your own tools/uninstaller), or where to clean up, what filenames to look for, registry changes (unknowingly may be changed).
Other
I don't do node, the only node I know i have "touched" is locked safely inside inside a docker-container, and that isnt running most of the time.
Don't know where your product came from (into my pc), why, who, or really when, via what. I don't know about your product, except no uninstall.exe, for all I know you have a good product, if the number of issues is a fair enough metric to go by, actively enough used.
I dont do yarn, gem, gum, nim, npm, mnp ...etc, Re #29478 to https://docs.cypress.io/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress#Installing
