Uninstall Dev Channel

I mistakenly downloaded the Dev channel and now I can't uninstall or change to the Beta channel.  I've tried resetting my PC twice taking everything off with no effect.  Can anyone offer direction on how I can rectify this please?

 

Thanks.

    Bruce135  Hi,

    Only in this way you can install a lower beta version, or install stable Windows.

    in your case, System Restore reinstalls the Dev version. Only a clean installation of the lower version is the solution.

        'During setup, select the Change what to keep option, and then choose Nothing on the next screen to complete a clean install."

        This is crucial - download ISO Beta and try again.
