I advise you, and anyone else reading this, NOT to try fumbling your way through uninstalling Lightning -- there is a specific procedure that needs to be followed. Profile Switcher is part of that procedure, but there are multiple other steps. See https://github.com/acquia/lightning/wiki/Uninstalling-Lightning.

I built an uninstall utility for Lightning. The process is a bit fiddly, depending on your particular situation, but it's been battle-tested over the last year and seems to work well for most people. Documented here: https://github.com/acquia/lightning/wiki/Uninstalling-Lightning
