how to uninstall your phone application

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you want to uninstall Your Phone app from your computer. I’ll certainly assist you with this.

Since Your Phone app is an in-built app, the option to uninstall it directly isn’t available. However, we can use a simple PowerShell command to uninstall it. Let me help you with the steps:

1. Press Windows + X keys together and click on Windows PowerShell (Admin)
2. Now type in the following command and hit Enter to re-register Cortana: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.YourPhone -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage
3. Restart the PC.

In future, if you wish to install it, you can download it from Microsoft Store.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi Jay

The Your Phone app is preinstalled in Windows and can't be deleted.

But see if the following works:

1. Press Windows+R and type powershell. Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. Click Yes.
2. In the blue window, type or paste: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.YourPhone -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage
3. Press enter.
4. This will uninstall the app.
5. When done, close the powershell window and see if the app is gone or not.
6. If not, restart the PC.
