To uninstall a program from a Windows operating system, you can follow these general steps, which apply to most versions of Windows (Windows 10, 11, 8, and 7):

Uninstalling via the Control Panel (Windows 7, 8, 10):

  1. Open the Control Panel:
    • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
    • Type control and press Enter.
  2. Navigate to Programs and Features:
    • In the Control Panel, select “Programs” (in Category view) or “Programs and Features” (in Icon view).
  3. Find the Program to Uninstall:
    • Scroll through the list of installed programs to find the one you want to uninstall.
  4. Uninstall the Program:
    • Click on the program you want to uninstall to select it.
    • Click the “Uninstall” button at the top of the list or right-click the program and select “Uninstall”.
    • Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation process.

Uninstalling via Settings (Windows 10 and 11):

  1. Open Settings:
    • Press Win + I to open the Settings app.
  2. Navigate to Apps:
    • Go to “Apps” or “Apps & features”.
  3. Find the App to Uninstall:
    • Scroll through the list of installed apps or use the search bar to find the app you want to uninstall.
  4. Uninstall the App:
    • Click on the app you want to uninstall to expand the options.
    • Click the “Uninstall” button and confirm to start the uninstallation process.

Uninstalling Built-in Apps (Windows 10 and 11):

Some built-in Windows apps can be uninstalled through the Settings app:

  1. Follow the steps above to navigate to “Apps” or “Apps & features”.
  2. Find the built-in app, click on it, and select “Uninstall” if available.

For other built-in apps that don’t have an uninstall option, you may need to use PowerShell or third-party tools to remove them.

Using Third-Party Uninstallers:

Some software might leave leftover files or registry entries even after using the standard uninstall methods. In such cases, a third-party uninstaller like Revo Uninstaller or IObit Uninstaller can help remove all remnants of a program.
