It is hard to do manually.
Autodesk changed installation procedure, so it really depends on version you
actually want to wipe.
Backup registry and folders in question before any changes!
look for keys under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Autodesk
and
HKCU\Software\Autodesk
also check uninstall information both in folders and registry:
Program Files\Unistall Information
ProgramFiles\Installshield Instalation Information
WinNT\Installer (in case of new version using MSI)
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
(if it is using MSI, there will be folder like {5783FD7-...}, you need to
check values under these subkeys to find which one is for Autocad).
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Folders
