How to completely uninstall Visual Studio 2015?

I installed Visual Studio 2015 earlier when it came out. I installed different components and various plug-ins. Since Visual Studio 2017 has come out I would like to completely uninstall Visual Studio 2015 before installing Visual Studio 2017.

Because I installed various components, it can be doubtful whether all of them are getting uninstalled or not, I want to completely uninstall Visual Studio 2015 and all of it's components and plug-ins and start from fresh and download Visual Studio 2017.

Can someone please guide me on how to do this?

If you start uninstalling bits and pieces then some parts of the program, or older programs, may fail to work properly. Did you select all these so called extras or were they installed automatically. If the latter then you may need them?

"In Visual Studio 2015, Visual C++ is not installed by default. When installing, be sure to choose Custom installation and then choose the C++ components you require. Or, if Visual Studio is already installed, choose File | New | Project | C++ and you will
be prompted to install the necessary components."

Problem uninstalling Visual Studio 2015

Hi all,

I'm having trouble fully removing Visual Studio 2015 community version. When I attempt to uninstall using windows apps I get error messages after clicking uninstall. I'm unable to open the program, I believe it is uninstalled, but for some reason not fully
removed from my PC. I would like to remove it completely before installing Visual Studio 2017.

I followed the steps given online at Uninstall Visual Studio 2015

and also used the uninstaller tool there. I ran it and success messages showed up with a couple of exit codes, but nothing has changed. I can still see it installed in my programs etc.

The top showed the following:

Uninstalling: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{79b486b9-c5f0-4096-a00c-8351f59587c2}\vs_community.exe

Bundle: Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015 with Updates has been uninstalled with exit code: -2147205120.

Uninstalling: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{7a68448b-9cf2-4049-bd73-5875f1aa7ba2}\vsupdate_KB3022398.exe

Bundle: Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 (KB3022398) has been uninstalled with exit code: 1603.

Normal Visual Studio Uninstall completed.

Strange exit codes I thought, especially after googling.

Any ideas how to get rid of this? If I reinstall Visual Studio will previous versions be removed?

Thanks,

Alex
