I am using Juliaup on Windows 10. Is there a method to completely remove it and the installed Julia files?  
I would like to start from a freshly installed base.

So maybe someone has a better method, but what I would do:

- uninstall juliaup via microsoft store
- remove the `.julia` folder from my user folder on disk C (it contatins, as far as I can tell, all Julia installations, registry, packages, etc. - you might want to copy things from `dev` folder if you used it)

Then your free to start clean.
