I have to test the installation of some package with a custom windows installer, and for that I need to remove the Julia installation each time.
I am not able, at the moment, to remove Julia from windows machines. The windows store does not give the option of removing the package, and `juliaup self uninstall` does not work from the terminal.
What can be done?

Yes, obscure. You must uninstall from the Windows “Installed Apps” (forgot how’s is it called in português). And after manually delete the Julia left under .julia (see why the simpler installer is better on Windows?)
