Hi, I can not (completely) deinstall emacs20. I have removed all emacs* packages, including emacs, emacs19, but I do not get rid of emacs20. This is not WinExploder in disguise, is it? ;-) I want to remove it because I had the impression it did not install properly. How do I get rid of it (without installing the whole system again)?
