Bitcoin Core 0.15.1 for mainnet

[simplynabh]

Hello Everyone,
I've downloaded & installed BitCoinCore 0.15.1 at my end. I want to make it work for mainnet. As soon as I run the application it shows "testnet" on the application. I've no option other than to stop it. I'm newbie to this. Please suggest how to proceed. Uninstalling testnet db data & installing data for mainnet only. (Didn't get much documentation on this.) 

Thanks in Advance!!!

It's weird... are you using windows?

In windows you get 2 shortcuts, one says "Bitcoin Core (64-bit) and has an orange icon, this is the one for mainnet.
And you get another additional shortcut of green color (which just adds -tesnet on bitcoin-qt.exe) and this open testnet. It is weird that it would be opening testnet by default. Be sure that you are opening bitcoin-qt without -tesnet on it.

Thank you cellard for your prompt response.

Yes its windows server 2012 R2. I actually clicked on orange icon. Still its launching Green icon for bitcoin core. How can i make one with orange icon run?

Ah..well, this is what i Did...I moved to run. typed in "%APPDATA%\Bitcoin\". I saw testnet3 & bitcoin.conf folder. Inside .conf i commented out testnet=1 through #. On running the orange Bitcoin app icon - its now running one with orange one. Not stating - Testnet anymore.

I guess its going in right direction!!!
