Describe the problem
I needed to uninstall a boards platform via Boards Manager and couldn't find the Remove button I'm used to from using Arduino IDE 1.x.
It took me quite some time to realize that the "INSTALLED" label on the entry in the list of platforms turns into an "UNINSTALL" button when you hover on it.
To reproduce
- Open the "Boards Manager" view.
- Scroll down until you see the "Arduino AVR Boards" platform entry.
- Look for an obvious mechanism to uninstall the platform.
Expected behavior
Make the uninstall functionality easy for the user to discover.

Additional context
A minimal change that would improve the current situation would be to change the installed "INSTALLED" label to have the same border and drop shadow as the INSTALL button.
Alternatively, a Remove button could be added to mirror the Arduino IDE 1.x Boards Manager UI.
The Arduino IDE 1.x Library Manager does not have an uninstall capability, but the Arduino IDE 1.x Boards Manager does have an uninstall capability, so the latter should be used if looking for a reference design.
