You could doa manual uninstall. Read windows FAQ for Windows on the entries the R installation program makes to the windows registry. It also describes how to remove the registry entries. Once you have done this you can simply delete the R directory. You will be missing a very good piece of software but if that is what you want.
I don't know what went wrong with your original install. Perhaps someone who knows more about the R install program might explain. I have installed and uninstalled many versions of R on XP (32-bit) and 7 (32- and 64-bit) and have never seen any comparable problem.
