How To Uninstall Meteor Completely and Reinstall on Windows 10

[martineboh]

I am trying to uninstall meteor completely and reinstall because when I run the “meteor” command I get a bunch of errors.

Will deleting
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local.meteor for your user account. completely make this issue go away?

Please help. @sacha @sashko

Here is what I got when I tried updating meteor.

I guess this has to do with the package cache. How do I clear this error?? I am on Windows 10 x64. Thanks

I still get the same issue when I tried updating Meteor to 1.4.3.2…I can’t create app.

No metadata files found for isopack

"No metadata files found for isopack" when updating xolvio:cucumber

I got stuck with this error for almost 3 days. Trying out other solutions didn’t worked. If you are on windows machine fresh meteor install would help. But one additional step is required. Go to your AppData/Local folder and remove the folder named .meteor. Then do a fresh install of meteor. It worked for me.

[martineboh]

This fixed my issues. Thanks!

[konsarna]

Hi does the fresh install refer to this:
meteor npm install -g npm@latest

or you mean a proper
meteor uninstall
and then
install?

[hupptechonologies]

• Uninstall Meteor from:
  • Win10: Settings > System > Apps & features > Meteor > Uninstall
  • Win7: Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Meteor > Uninstall
• Using Windows Explorer, delete the .meteor folder from %LOCALAPPDATA% completely.
• Install fresh 1.3.4.1 from https://install.meteor.com/windows (skip logging in at end due to #6218bug)
• Restart!
  • Yes, even on Windows 10, you’ll need to restart your computer
• Open Command Prompt and type meteor --version to confirm it’s working.

[rhywden]

What? No. Restart is not necessary. You might only need to restart the console.

1.3.4.1

you suggest the version 1.3.4.1 of meteor, right?
