Composer Uninstalling
I had the same problem and here is the solution..
Its mainly occur due to selecting shell menu while installing.
after selecting shell menu option you could easily access composer just right clicking
this occur the error "cannot continue because the following applications are using files that need to be removed Windows Explorer" While uninstalling.
for fixing this issue type windows key + r and type regedit and Ctrl+f for search and type composer and delete all files related to composer.
and remove system path to if the problem still exists
I have also faced the problem, my solution like:
1. Open the task manager 2. End a task called `Windows Explorer` from process tab. 3. Retry to uninstallAnd then I could do the uninstalling process.
For Windows on you local machine to uninstall composer, simply go to you programmer files and delete that composer setup folder if still there is files that are not getting deleted then again go to control panel and remove composer.
These steps work for me, hope will helpful for you too :)
