How to uninstall/remove Package Control from Sublime Text 3?

Question

Searching for uninstall package control on Google, only results showing how to install packages with Package Control, or remove them, but not removing Package Control itself.

How can I remove Package Control from Sublime-Text-3?

Solution 1

Removing ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Package Control.sublime-package should do it.

(Thus just reversing the 'Manual installation' described in https://packagecontrol.io/installation)

UPDATE: More complete instructions can be found at the official docs (thanks @BartaTamás): https://packagecontrol.io/docs/troubleshooting#Purging_Old_Versions

Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Shift+⌘+P on a Mac) type 'Remove' All the packages that can be removed will be shown in the list below. Select one and this is it.

Thanks! This should work (I already succeeded to remove it). I don't know why I didn't think of looking at the manual installation section. However there is also a section called Purging Old Versions in the docs of Package Control. I'm not surprised I didn't find it earlier with this name :D This section states that the Package Control folder in the Packages folder also needs to be deleted. I asked this question because I suspected such generated content. Please include it in your answer.

Updated, thanks @BartaTamás for the suggestion. Funny, I don't have that second folder. Just some cache and settings files in Packages/User, I guess the former only got created in old versions.

I did two Package Control uninstallation, one at my workplace, one at home. At home I had the folder, here I didn't. But might be worth to mention here.

Updated answer to fix dead link to new url. Thanks @EricB.

Copy-pasting voting status in the beginning of an answer makes me just wonder from where you copied this. That aside (copying is perfectly ok if the content is relevant and good, although adding a link to the original would be nice), how does this answer differ from the one provided by Kaloyan Stamatov more than a year ago?

This will not work if Package manage is not up due to some other packages' problem

I don't know what the hell "0 down vote means" but this answer deserves down votes. It doesn't answer the question. This removes packages, the question is how to remove "Package Control" - very different things.
