You are free to move or rename the directory.
Moreover, you can simply delete the entire Eclipse directory when it is no longer needed (without running any un-installer). I prefer the zip version, because there is no need to run any installer.
To install Eclipse, simply unzip the downloaded file into a directory of your choice (e.g., " c:\myProject"). Choose " Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" and " Windows x86_64" (e.g., " eclipse-java-202x-xx-R-win32-x86_64.zip" - about 313MB) ⇒ Download. To use Eclipse for Java programming, you need to first install Java Development Kit (JDK).
