Visual Micro is an Arduino IDE extension that simplifies the process of programming Arduino boards. To uninstall it, you need to remove it from your Arduino IDE. Here's how:

Uninstalling Visual Micro

  1. Open the Arduino IDE: Launch the Arduino IDE software on your computer.
  2. Open the Sketchbook Folder: Click on "File" in the menu bar and then select "Preferences".
  3. Locate the Sketchbook Path: Note the "Sketchbook location" path displayed in the Preferences window. This is the folder where your Arduino projects are stored.
  4. Navigate to the Visual Micro Folder: Close the Preferences window and open the Sketchbook folder you noted earlier. Inside the folder, locate the "Visual Micro" folder.
  5. Delete the Visual Micro Folder: Delete the entire "Visual Micro" folder. This will remove the extension from your Arduino IDE.

Verifying the Uninstall

After deleting the "Visual Micro" folder, restart your Arduino IDE. If Visual Micro is no longer present in the IDE's menu or toolbar, the uninstall was successful.

Note: The exact location of the Visual Micro folder may vary depending on your operating system and Arduino IDE version. However, the general steps outlined above should apply to all versions.
