Close Bitcoin-Qt if it's running, then delete the file wallet.dat in the folder %APPDATA%\Bitcoin, and restart Bitcoin-Qt. This file is not deleted during the uninstall process, to avoid losing your money by accident.

Will pretend to do unspeakable things (while actually eating a taco) for bitcoins: 1K6d1EviQKX3SVKjPYmJGyWBb1avbmCFM4
