I am new to Android Studio, however I am unable to change the background color of buttons. My guess is tat I'm dealing with a faulty installation.. I tried to uninstall Android Studio, but the uninsall.exe file seams to be missing:

How can I uninstall Android Studio without an uninstaller?

I was facing the same problem. The main problem seems to be that the recent versions of Android Studio don't come with the uninstall.exe in the C:\Program Files\Android\AndroidStudio folder.

Here is what worked for me:

  1. Download an older version of Android Studio. You can do that from the Android Studio downloads archive.
  2. Install it (preferably only the bare minimum as we are going to uninstall it anyway).
  3. Go to the folder where you installed this version of Android Studio - you will find an uninstall.exe here.
  4. Copy the uninstall.exe from that directory to C:\ProgramFiles\Android\AndroidStudio(the original one).
  5. Run the uninstaller and this should solve the problem.

  1. Use the search engine in the file explorer. Enter the name of the program to remove and delete the directories that will appear.

  2. Another way:-

  • Press Windows key + R
  • Then copy this string C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\uninstall.exe
  1. Third option is:-

  • Search in startup menu %userprofile%

  • Then delete the a) .android, b) .androidstudio

  • Then reinstall the android studio again.

I hope it works.
