Well first why would you want to?

Ok, I'm sure you have a good reason. The question is how you installed it. Ideally, you created a copy of an RTW directory (your base) and then installed int that, in which case just delete that whole directory, then just use your base and create a new copy for a new mod. If you didn't copy, then I'm afraid the answer is the same, but you will then need to install RTW from scratch.

It is highly recommended to create a copy of a good unmodified installation, keep that unique and untouched, and then just copy it, and install mods into the copy.

Exactly so then all you have to do is delete the copied folder and start FRESH

Many of us learnt a long time ago to keep the R:TW install 'clean' and simply copy it somewhere else and use that for the mod. The original R:TW install in this state is usually referred to as 'vanilla' R:TW.

I used to uninstall and reinstall R:TW on a regular basis at first - a real pain when it was on three (3) CD-ROMs (the original R:TW 1.0).....
