Just do all the first stuff, to remove everything, then... uhm... don't re-install.
Completely delete the following folders:

The Program:
C:\Program Files\Rainmeter

Your "Skin" files:
C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rainmeter

Rainmeter settings, Layouts and 3rd-party plugins:
C:\Users\YourName\Appdata\Roaming\Rainmeter

Delete the Rainmeter shortcut icon from the Windows Startup folder:

If installed for your user account
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

If installed for "all users"
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
