Here are the steps required to clean-up your system from CodeRush installation:

1. Uninstall the products (DevExpress CodeRush) from the Control Panel.

2. Search for any remaining DevExpress.CodeRush~, DevExpress.DXCore~ or DevExpress.Refactor~ assemblies located on your hard drive, including your GAC (%WindowsRoot%\Assembly), and delete any if found.

3. Backup your user settings located in the “%appdata%\CodeRush for VS .NET\1.1” folder and remove it.

4. Delete the Registry keys that were added when installing the product. Please note, the keys to be removed differ for 64-bit and 32-bit OS versions. Here are the keys you should remove:
