Each online installation of TeX Live 2019 is an utter failure. In each and every attempt I’m left with an incomplete install. With each subsequent retry the installer warns against [re-]installing in the default directory once files are contained there (from previous installs). Now I’m just furious and I don’t want to have a trace of TeX Live in my computer anymore. Despite the fact the documentation claims there is an uninstaller under the Control Panel or the Start menu, this simply isn’t true (I’m on Windows 10). Even if I attempted a lower “scheme” light weight installation at this point, what am I to expect when the default directory is already flooded with files from the previous full installation attempts? Therefore, I just want to get rid of it, but how?

Since the TL 2012 DVD was released there have been two changes concerning this:
- the invocation of tar has changed
- the tar program itself has been updated
Both changes were related to time stamps of files. We hope that at the current status most of the errors you and others have mentioned are history, but with Windows there is never a guarantee.
Uninstall it like you would any other program.
Search for "Uninstall a program" (part of the Control Panel), find and select TeX Live 2013 and click Uninstall/Change:
This should work for any version of TeX Live.
