       @briancarr99 Well, its basically a new and full operating system. You cannot uninstall it just like any other application.
       
      You need to either install a different operating system or you can format the partition if it is installed as dual boot along with other operating system. Both these options need some precautions and hence you should do that only if you are fully aware of what you are doing.
