Can't Uninstall Google Drive

Anonymous

I am on Windows 11 Pro. About 2 years ago I installed Google Drive and now I want to uninstall it.

But when I go into Settings / Installed Apps, it does not have Google Drive listed. So if it is not listed there, then I can't uninstall it.

In the start programs, I right clicked the Google Drive app, and selected Uninstall, but it sent me to Settings / Installed Apps and it still is not listed there. So that didn't work.

I ran the legacy Control Panel and went into Programs and Features, and it is not listed there either.

Is there another way to uninstall Google Drive?

    Thank you Dave. I installed Revo Uninstaller, and it does not show it as an installed program either!

    So after that didn't work, I went digging through the C drive and specifically looked in this folder:

    C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\91.0.2.0

    Where 91.0.2.0 is the current version of Google Drive.

    And inside that folder is a program called "Uninstall". So I ran it and a pop up asked me if I want to uninstall Google Drive, to which I said yes, and it did indeed uninstall it. I haven't looked very deeply into it but it does look like it cleaned up after itself pretty nicely.

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    If that app is not appearing in the list of installed apps, if it is actually still installed on your PC, try using the free version of Revo Uninstaller to remove that software it is very good at removing software that Windows cannot uninstall.

    That is great news, rest assured that Uninstal.exe file will have totally uninstalled Google Drive, well done.

    After posting this, I went digging through the C drive and specifically looked in this folder:

    C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\91.0.2.0

    Where 91.0.2.0 is the current version of Google Drive.

    So I consider this the solution to this problem.
