It would help to know which version of Windows you are using.  I will 
assume 7 or 10.  Under Windows 7, try Start / Control Panel / Programs 
and Features.  Search for TeX Live 2021.  Click to highlight it, then 
use the Uninstall/Change option that will manifest itself in the menu 
line.  Under Windows 10, possibly something similar.
