How do I uninstall vim?

I want to start over

And how do I go about doing this?

Without knowing what you did when you installed it, I don't think it an be answered universally.

What OS are you using?
What command did you run to install vim?

Assuming you're on a unix system, removing both $HOME/.vimrc and $HOME/.vim will likely remove anything you did to customize vim and it is very unlikely the vim app/program is actually corrupt.

one should really use a "dotfiles" repo. E.g.:

* https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=dotfiles

* https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-computer-settings/

Chuck Norris once wrote a 10 million lines C++ program in Microsoft Notepad
without having to use the backspace key. And it compiled without errors or
warnings, and was 100% bug‐free.
