An alternative way to uninstall software from Windows 10
PowerShell gives us the ability to uninstall software without necessarily resorting to third-party applications. With some terminal commands, in fact, it is possible to perform a complete and safe removal of an application that no longer interests us.
Uninstall a program with PowerShell
- Start PowerShell with administrator permissions
- type the wmic command
- type the command product get name and wait for the result, it can take minutes
- use the command product where name = “APPLICATION NAME” call uninstall taking the name from the list just printed on the screen and wait for the uninstallation procedure to start
- when the terminal requests the uninstallation confirmation, press Y to continue or N to cancel
- when uninstallation is complete, you can repeat from command 4. or continue run exit from wmic to terminate it
- execute exit from PowerShell to close the terminal
