I downloaded pieces of Azure SDK for .NET 2.5 from here, - "authoring tools", "Azure tools" and "libs for .net" packages and installed them one after another. Installation went successfully and Visual Studio 2012 even offered to migrate my .ccproj project afterwards.

The problem is they are not in "Add/Remove" programs list (SDK 1.8 components were in that list) so I have no idea how to start uninstalling the SDK.

How do I uninstall this stuff?

I had the same problem in Visual Studio 2015 Community. There are no Azure items in Add/Remove Programs and no uninstall option in Tools/Extensions and Updates.

The solution is to go to C:\Windows\Installer and selecting Uninstall from the context menu on every .msi file that has "Azure" in the description. Works perfectly and every piece of azure trash is not in Visual Studio anymore.

Note: .msi files have hash-like names in the Installer directory. To easily identify what's which .msi file, simply add the Subject column in Windows Explorer. It will show the description.
