I had Windows Subsystem for Android installed on my PC but uninstalled it after hearing that Microsoft had dropped support for it. However, WSA still appears on the list of debug targets on Visual Studio 2022. I've tried several things to remove it from the list of debug targets in VS but to no avail. What do I need to do to remove WSA from the debug targets?

    Hi @Javier Jimenez-Gomez , 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    Could you tell us how you uninstalled the Windows Subsystem for Android? 

    Please open Settings > Apps > Installed apps > search the “Windows Subsystem for Android” app > click on the 3 dots button from the right side > click on Uninstall > click on Uninstall again. 

    Or you can try the following command to uninstall it from Command Prompt:

    winget uninstall "Windows Subsystem for AndroidTM" 

    After these steps, please restart your PC and re-launch your VS to check it again. 

    Sincerely,

    Anna
