Spacevim: Can you safely uninstall spacevim?
Hi, I would like to install spacevim to try it out. However looking at the install script I see it removes all my vim and neovim installations. Is there a way to safely and easily remove all of SpaceVim if I wish to do so?

@jeremyf21 The install script do not remove your config, It just change the name for ~/.vim to ~/.vim_back, and if you uninstalll SpaceVim, your vim config will come back. you can run
curl -sLf https://spacevim.org/install.sh | bash -s -- --uninstall

Sorry for bringing this issue again, but can we have this on the Readme? I spent half a day looking then randomly searched all issues for uninstall to find this. Thanks a lot 馃檹!

The SpaceVim configuration directories will remain, just delete them with rm -rf ~/.SpaceVim*

YOU SAVED THE DAY! I tried the spacevim configuration on the FreeBSD console, but it failed miserably. Uninstalling helped!
