“#How to Uninstall a Program on Windows 10 from Command Prompt”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"Microsoft<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re using Windows 10 and need to free up some disk space, you can uninstall app<\/a>s you no longer use straight from the Command Prompt. Here\u2019s how it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n

First, you\u2019ll have to run Command Prompt as an administrator to uninstall a program. In the Windows Search box, type \u201ccmd,\u201d and then right-click \u201cCommand Prompt\u201d in the results.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next, click \u201cRun as Administrator\u201d in the menu that appears.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Command Prompt will now launch with administrator permissions. To uninstall a program using Command Prompt, you have to use the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) software utility.<\/p>\n

At the prompt, type the following command, and then press Enter:<\/p>\n

wmic<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll now see the\u00a0wmic:rootcli><\/code>\u00a0prompt in the console. This means you can now use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) operations.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Next, you\u2019ll want a list of the programs installed on your computer.\u00a0Getting this list is essential because you must provide an accurate product name to successfully execute the uninstall command.<\/p>\n
Type the following command to get the list:<\/p>\n
product get name<\/pre>\n
Tip:<\/strong> You can also run wmic commands directly from the standard command line, without running \u201cwmic<\/code>\u201d and entering the WMIC prompt first. To do so, prepend them with \u201cwmic<\/code>.\u201d For example, \u201cwmic product get name<\/code>\u201d works the same as running \u201cwmic,<\/code>\u201d and then \u201cproduct get name.<\/code>\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Find the name of the program you want to uninstall from the list. You can uninstall the program by running this command:<\/p>\n
product where name=\"program name\" call uninstall<\/pre>\n
Just replace program name<\/code>\u00a0with the name of the program you want to install. For example, if we want to uninstall the Skype Meetings App, we would type this command:<\/p>\n
product where name=\"Skype Meetings App\" call uninstall<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll then be asked to confirm if you really want to execute the command. Type Y<\/code>\u00a0to confirm, and then press Enter. Type\u00a0N<\/code>\u00a0to cancel the operation.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
After a few moments, you\u2019ll receive a message telling you the method was successfully executed.<\/p>\n
\"Success<\/p>\n
The application has now been uninstalled from your computer.<\/p>\n\n
This is just one of the many ways you can uninstall an application on Windows 10. You can also do so from the Control Panel, Start menu, or Settings window.<\/p>\n
