How to Delete Apps on Windows

Method 1 of 2:

Removal of Programs from the "Programs and Features" Menu

  1. Hold the "Windows" key and press X.
  2. Select "Programs and Features" (the top item in the menu that appears).
    1. You can also get to this menu by holding the "Windows" key and pressing R, then typing "appwiz.cpl" (without quotes) in the box and pressing ↵ Enter.
    2. This menu can also be found in "Control Panel" under "Programs and Features".
  3. Locate the program you wish to uninstall. Highlight it (or right click) and select "Uninstall".
  4. Follow the subsequent prompts that appear to complete uninstallation.
    1. If the program still appears in the "Programs and Features" list, try refreshing the list by pressing F5.
  5. Troubleshoot as needed. If this doesn't work, or you get an error:
    1. Ensure that you have "Administrator" access to the PC. If a box titled "User Account Control" pops up, you will need the username and password of an account that has admin permissions on your PC or domain.
    2. If the program is from a trusted source (ex: Adobe), refer to any error code that appears during uninstallation.
    3. If the program is not from a trusted source or seems suspicious, download, install, and run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware or refer to your system administrator.
Method 2 of 2:

Removal of Windows Store Apps (Metro-Style Apps)

  1. Press the "Windows" key on your keyboard or click the Windows icon on the left edge of the taskbar.
  2. Right-click on any Windows Store App (such as the "Paid WiFi & Cellular" app that comes pre-installed on many systems). Select "Uninstall".
  3. Wait for a pop-up to appear that informs you that the app will be uninstalled. Click the button that says Uninstall.
