My iTunes installation is broken. I am unable to uninstall from the Control Panel or the Start button, or any other way I can imagine. I "reinstalled" but in order to "launch" the new installation, it says I need to uninstall the old version, which is not working. Is there a way to manually remove all iTunes directories, to manually UNinstall iTunes?
Hey FujiFanatic,
I see that you're having some trouble with uninstalling iTunes so that you can reinstall it. I'll be happy to help out.
It sounds like some related components of iTunes is still downloaded and need to be properly uninstalled. Here's the steps to make sure those related components are removed correctly: Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows 7 and later - Apple Support
Have a great day.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. When reinstalling right click on the downloaded setup file and use run as administrator. It may also help to temporarily disable any non-Microsoft anti-virus.
Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, or want to revert to an older version if the current one won't work properly for you at the moment. Links to the most recent builds are now at the bottom of the page.
Your library and device backups should be unaffected by these steps but there are links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
