Accidently installed Ubuntu Desktop - How to remove

Asked by Paul D. Nunn on 2012-05-27

I was installing Ubuntu One on my iPhone and my computer so that I could sync them.

Unfortunately, I accidently installed Ubuntu Desktop without realizing it on my Windows 7 Pro computer.

I didn't realize this until I booted up this morning and launched the Ubuntu desktop instead of Windows 7.

How can I unintall Ubuntu Desktop and return to Windows as soon as possible for I am waiting for critical replies to emails that I sent from MS Outlook.

I am totally freaking out here so please help as soon as possible! Paul

When you boot your computer up do you briefly get a text mode menu appear which lists Ubuntu and also "Other operating systems" or indeed "Windows"?

Kinda like this:- http://www.pendrivelinux.com/wp-content/uploads/WUBI-Grub2.png

If so, can you move the highlight down to windows and press [Enter]?

Hi Alan,
Thanks for your reply. I don't recall seeing any text at boot, it just goes straight into Ubuntu.

I had to go to Denver suddenly and will check it again to make sure as soon as I get back. Paul
