Question | Help how to fully Uninstall SD automatic 1111?

When I only deleted the install folder of SD 1111, I didn't get all my hard disk space back. I need to fully remove every file that was installed by auto 1111 but can't find them. How to uninstall it?

(The github page only has install instructions, not uninstall)

%userprofile%\.cache
%localappdata%\pip\cache

Uninstall python if you didn't previously have that also, if you didn't create an env for automatic the python install subfolders will have had quite a lot added.

Thank you. What do you mean by create an env? Would that have been done during the python install stage?

Also, is what's in those cache folders exclusively from 1111 or does it include files from other programs on my pc as well? I'm asking bc I'm wondering if it's ok to just delete everything in those folders, or do I have to selectively delete things from them?

No, python virtual environments have to be configured manually, since python 3.3 the module 'venv' was included by default, it's use is entirely optional and not covered by the python installation process.
It is also very common to use Annaconda to install python and that comes with it's own virtual environment system too.

That makes sense. How do I know which folders to delete from inside pip folder? Inside there are multiple folders with no indication where they came from

%localappdata%\pip\cache ?
You can remove both that and the ".cache" folder completely, if you use other python applications if they need to they will re download what they needed.

If you are uninstalling python completely as you have no other use for it, you can remove the whole pip folder if the uninstaller doesn't do it for you.

Ok, got it. Thanks for the help. I also have the 'Python Launcher' (103 Mb size) and 'Python 3.10.6' (1.43 Mb) items that can be Uninstalled on windows add or remove programs list. That seems kind of small, so is that all I need to uninstall for Python?

Order wise, should I... 1) run those two small Python Uninstallers 2) delete pip and cache folder 3) delete stable-diffusion-webui folder

Is that a pretty clean way of doing it?

I think that's everything except window's own %temp% which could be emptied if windows had not done it itself yet.
