If it does not appear in your programs list you have probably installed the zip or 7z version.
In this case you can uninstall XAMPP completely by deleting the xampp folder.
If you set any windows services you should unregister them first.

No. The installer version should place an uninstaller to use.

this is the result that i receive after i run the unistall service command

The service name is invalid.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185.

Uninstalling MySql-Service
The system cannot find the path specified.
Press any key to continue . . .

why doesnt this look right?
i didnt register any services earlier - is this why 'the system cannot find the specified path'
