Computer (please complete the following information):

Don't remember installing, is throwing an error on start up, nothing showing for AWS toolkit under installed extensions. Trying to re-install hoping it would show under installed extensions so I could remove. Won't install as it says its already installed. No option to uninstall, tried removing the AWS Toolkit folder from the appdata folder but when launching Visual studio it acts as if I just installed it and wants me to configure the toolkit, with the getting stated page loading. How do I get rid of this extension?

In the future, if you try to re-install the extension, but encounter some issues, https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-visual-studio/issues/452 may have some relevant guidance.
