This bug was fixed years ago.
https://github.com/rainmeter/rainmeter/commit/d7e3df687b6c563520769f2391f691954055a8d3
The problem was with the installer when we attempted to calculate the size of the installation to store in the registry for uninstallation purposes. We made an assumption that ALL files in the installation folder was part of the Rainmeter installation...so in cases where someone installs Rainmeter to the root folder of a drive, the entire size of the drive is calculated as size of the installation. We removed this calculation (see the link above), so now there is no size in the Windows settings.
I am not sure why Revo Uninstaller is marking the size that big, but it looks like a similar issue in calculating the size of the installation.
Maybe non-Rainmeter files are stored in the same folder?
Anyway, you can safely uninstall Rainmeter using the Windows Settings app.
