Installing or updating Microsoft Edge on Windows 11
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
To whom it may concern, I trying to uninstall Webview2 and do a clean reinstall; because program is not working probably, and the repair function does not work.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you.

Those instructions do not work.
I'm sure there is another way because my corporate laptop does not run it.
How can we prevent this "unwanted feature" from working?
I can tell you that as of today, this does not work at all either options, the command line or ccleaner. It would sure be nice to remove this bloatedware as i do not use edge at all and regardless of how little memory is used, i want it gone. How do i remove it?
Hello, Obubbie
Welcome to Microsoft Community.
You can uninstall WebView2 using Command Prompt or a third-party program. If you want to use the command prompt, search for Command Prompt in the Windows search box and then run it as an administrator. Enter the following command:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\1*\Installer
1* represents your current version number. If you're unsure, you can find this folder in File Explorer at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application, and then copy the folder name you see. Then press Enter to run the command.
Next, enter the following command:
setup.exe --uninstall --msedgewebview --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall
Press Enter again to run the command.
Using a third-party program can be a bit easier. You can install CCleaner to uninstall WebView2.

I tried a few ways to delete it, and the only one that worked for me was using IOBit uninstaller: https://www.iobit.com/en/advanceduninstaller
Thank you SO much for this. I just found a ChatGPT thing piggybacking on this program, scraping my stuff without my knowledge. I'm very happy to have uninstalled it, and while I was at it, Edge itself. Thanks again.
