Cannot uninstall NetBeans 7.3

Question

I'm not able to uninstall NetBeans IDE 7.3 from my PC. It's showing "instance of the program is still running" even after I close all the background processes of the IDE. Can anyone help me??

Have you tried killing the JRE processes as well? NetBeans is written (and runs) entirely in Java. — Jamie, May 21 '13 at 07:43

For Ubuntu users, go to /Home/.netbeans/.YOUR_IDE_VERSION there you will find .lock file and simply remove it.

For Windows and any Netbeans version,

Go to location "C:\Users\< UserName >\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\< Version >" and remove the .lock file

Sometimes "AppData" is hidden, you have to unhide.

Go to the Task Manager and end all the tasks related to NetBeans.

Go to location "C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.3" and remove the .lock file BUT SOME TIME THIS FILE MAY NOT SEE, SO GO TO PROPERTIES AND DISABLE HIDDEN FILE SO AppData FOLDER WILL SEE AND PROCEED AS BEFORE
