Please I need your help in uninstalling Microsoft Visual Studio 2013. I was trying to remove it from Control Panel but it seems that the same files that i delete return after restarting my computer.
Also i think it caused a problem to my laptop because the laptop now ignores the battery and showing me that there is no battery while when i remove some of the visual studio files, i get the laptop battery back. After restarting, i get the same old message that i do not have a battery in my laptop.

Hi Ah,
Since you uninstall the visual studio from Control Panel, please try to use /uninstall /force to remove the visual studio 2013 completely, you could take the following steps:
1.Download the setup application you used to originally install Visual Studio 2013. If you installed from media, please insert that media.
2.Open a command prompt.
a.Click Run on the Start menu (Start + R).
b.Type cmd and press OK (Enter).
3.Type in the full path to the setup application and pass the following command line switches: /uninstall /force
Example: D:\vs_community.exe /uninstall /force
4.Click the Uninstall button and follow the prompts.
If the above command doesn’t help and still find some Visual Studio related components left but they do not appear on your control panel. We'll need to use this tool:
The msiinv tool is a tool which will list all installed msi on your OS. In that way you can check them and if you want to remove any of them, you may try the msiexec /x <product code> to remove that component.
Please share the result after you tried the above tools.
If the above don’t help, and you still get the same old message that you do not have a battery in your laptop.
I doubt it is related to your laptop, maybe you could consult this issue from where you buy this laptop. After fixing this issue, and then try the above steps to uninstall visual studio 2013.

What are the files about which you mentioned "the same files that i delete"?
