Introduction
Learning how to uninstall a program can be useful if you need to remove an unwanted or corrupted application from your computer. This guide will show you how to uninstall a program using three different methods: using the Control Panel, using the Settings menu, and using the Command Prompt.
What is a program?
Programs are sets of instructions that tell a computer what to do. They are written in a particular language which the computer can understand. Every program has a specific purpose, and when you want to stop using a program, you need to uninstall it from your system.
How to uninstall a program?
Most programs in Windows are installed using an installer, and many of those installed programs create new entries in the Windows registry. When you uninstall a program, there’s usually an entry left behind in the registry. That entry can interfere with future installations and updates. It’s best to remove that entry before continuing.
Why would you want to uninstall a program?
There are many reasons you might want to uninstall a program. Maybe you installed it and then realized you don’t actually use it. Maybe it’s taking up valuable space on your hard drive. Maybe it’s causing problems with other programs or your computer’s operating system.
Whatever the reason, uninstalling a program is usually pretty straightforward. Here are some tips to make sure the process goes smoothly.
How to reinstall a program?
There are two ways to reinstall a program: you can either do it from the installation disc or you can do it from the Control Panel. If you have the installation disc, simply insert it into your computer and follow the prompts. If you don’t have the installation disc, you can reinstall the program from the Control Panel. To do this, go to the Control Panel and click on “Add or Remove Programs.” From here, you will be able to select the program you want to uninstall and click on the “Uninstall” button.
What if you can’t uninstall a program?
If you can’t uninstall a program, you can use Windows 10’s built-in PowerShell program to remove the program. Here’s how:
1. Type PowerShell in the Start Menu.
2. Right click on Windows PowerShell and select Run as Administrator.
3. Type Get-AppxPackage -allusers followed by the name of the app you want to uninstall (e.g., Get-AppxPackage -allusers twitter).
4. Press Enter and wait for PowerShell to find the app.
5. Once PowerShell has found the app, type Remove-AppxPackage followed by the name of the app you want to uninstall (e.g., Remove-AppxPackage twitter).
6. Press Enter and wait for PowerShell to remove the app from your system.
How to delete a program completely?
Programs can be uninstalled in two ways: manually or using an uninstaller. To uninstall a program manually, you need to delete the program files from your computer. This can be done by going to the Control Panel and selecting “Add or Remove Programs.” From here, you can select the program you want to uninstall and click “Remove.”
If you want to make sure the program is completely uninstalled, you can use an uninstaller. Uninstallers are third-party programs that are designed to remove all traces of a program from your computer. To use an uninstaller, first download and install the program. Once it’s installed, run the uninstaller and select the program you want to remove. The uninstaller will then delete all of the files associated with that program.
Troubleshooting
If you’re having trouble uninstalling a program, there are a few things you can try:
-Restart your computer and try again. Sometimes, the program will unlock itself and allow you to uninstall it.
-If that doesn’t work, try using a software installation tool like PC Decrapifier or Absolute Uninstaller. These tools will help you remove programs that won’t uninstall normally.
-If you’re still having trouble, try manually deleting the program files from your computer. This is a last resort, and you should only do this if you’re confident in your ability to navigate your computer’s file system.
FAQs

2. Find the program you want to uninstall and click “Remove” or “Uninstall.” Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation.
