Description
### Description of the problem / feature request:
I used Bazel to install Tensorflow (from source) a few months ago. But I haven't really used it in quite a while and wanted to uninstall it.
Except, I don't know how to. It's taking up about 20GB of space on my system and I want to free it up.
I have a bazel.exe file in my system (I had a folder where I kept track of what I had to install to get a project running which required Tensorflow) so I think I probably used the Bazel binary from GitHub to install it.
Since it's on Windows, I don't want to mess things up by trying something out on my own so looking for help.
### What operating system are you running Bazel on?
Windows 10
### What's the output of `bazel info release`?
`ERROR: The 'info' command is only supported from within a workspace (below a directory having a WORKSPACE file).`
I ran `bazel version` and the build label is `0.26.1`.
### Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?
I have found threads/posts related to removing it on linux, but nothing on Windows as of now.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the issue's Windows 10 context and Bazel 0.26.1 details; no documentation file, test, or entry point is named. Done means providing or documenting safe Windows uninstall guidance that addresses Bazel's disk usage without relying on Linux-specific steps.
