To remove it, open Settings › Apps › Installed apps (Apps & features on Windows 10), find GitTree and choose Uninstall. Its settings and caches are in com.eslamfaisal.opengittree folders under %APPDATA% and %LOCALAPPDATA%.

Questions

Doesn’t Git for Windows already include a GUI?

It includes Git GUI and Git Bash. GitTree is a separate app on the same Git that adds the commit graph, line staging, interactive rebase, conflict resolution and Undo.
