How do I uninstall Wubi?

Run the uninstaller in "Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs" for Windows XP or lower or "Control Panel > Programs and Features" for Windows Vista or Windows 7. Alternatively, you can run: C:\ubuntu\Uninstall-Ubuntu.exe.

I just uninstalled Wubi. Although the uninstaller was indeed in that directory, it was actually named

uninstall-wubi.exe

and not

Uninstall-Ubuntu.exe

Thanks.

You don't recall the version prior to checking the uninstaller? I will check for Saucy.

Actually, Wubi's dead for 13.04 and beyond... I think you may have installed 12.04.

Since you seem to know how it should be changed, it would be great if you could fix it.

Due to the nature of the wiki pages, you can't request changes to them in the form of bug reports.
