How to completely remove ReSharper from Visual Studio

Uninstall ReSharper

1. Close all Visual Studio instances.
2. Press Win+R, enter appwiz.cpl, and press Enter to open Programs and Features.
3. Select the record named JetBrains ReSharper in Visual Studio <edition> <version> and click Uninstall. Repeat this for each Visual Studio version.

If ReSharper was installed with JetBrains Toolbox, uninstall it from Toolbox instead.

Remove leftover files

If Visual Studio still shows ReSharper as installed after uninstalling:

1. Close all Visual Studio instances.
2. Delete the JetBrains folder in %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version>_<instanceId>\Extensions\. For example, the folder for Visual Studio 2026 is %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_<instanceId>\Extensions\JetBrains, and for Visual Studio 2022 it is 17.0_<instanceId>.
3. Start Visual Studio.

For Visual Studio 2015 and earlier, the folder is %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version>\Extensions\JetBrains. If Visual Studio still shows ReSharper as installed, also delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version>_Config registry key.
