How do I uninstall Mercurial from SourceTree?

[riturajshukla]

In my pull request there is indentation error. My code is not aligned properly in the pull request though it is fine in the text editor. I looked for help and got to know that uninstalling Mercurial will work. But I am lost after this.

Can someone tell how to proceed after this? I need the solution ASAP!

There is no mechanism in the app to uninstall Mercurial, but you can close Sourcetree and then delete %localappdata%/Atlassian/Sourcetree/hg_local folder.

Re-starting Sourcetree should prompt you about the missing Mercurial and one option will be to say you don't want to use Mercurial

I was having a problem where every time I started Source Tree, it would update the embedded mercurial. Meaning, I had to wait for it to download and install again every single time. I don't use mercurial, so this was very irritating. Your fix solved the issue. Thanks!
