I've installed Subversive and want to switch to the Subclipse plugin.

After uninstalling Subversive via About Eclipse -> Installation Details -> Uninstall... and installing Subclipse, there are now two SVN options available in Preferences -> Team, one for Subversive preferences (which has been uninstalled and shouldn't be there anymore), and one for Sublipse preferences.

How to remove Subversive completely, so that there aren't any traces (such as Subversive's preferences screen) left in Eclipse?

Remove from Eclipse's plugins and features folders all files and folders like:

org.eclipse.team.svn*
org.polarion.eclipse.team.svn*

    Do this in your eclipse root directory (e.g., C:\eclipse). I was looking for the plugins in the .metadata folder in my workspace before I realized this. – Joe Jan 19 '12 at 18:55
  • I searched "svn" in STS (eclipse derived) folder. they were present in plugins, features, and configurations folder. But even after deleting all of the jars and folders which contains "svn" in it, the issue isn't resolved. – learner Sep 28 '18 at 13:39

Help->about eclipse->installation details->Installed Software tab You can choose the software to uninstall.

    This does not work - that's why the question was asked in the first place. – Markus Pscheidt Jan 19 '15 at 13:48

    This apparently worked for me, but I still see several folders referring to Polarion and svn (see Markus answer). Uninstalling from Marketplace doesn't work. – Pino Aug 21 '15 at 08:16

If you have installed Subversive via Eclipse Marketplace:

From Eclipse menu open Help -> Eclipse Market Place...

Then search for subversive, click uninstall under Subversive - SVN Team Provider

Restart the Eclipse.
