How to uninstall entire linkedin from windows 10 pro

Question

Hi all,

We are using Win10 PCs for our company and found that linkedin software is installed on many accounts.

We tried to use powershell to uninstall linkedin for all accounts but not successful.

Below is the command and error message, I ran this command under administrator account.

Please share your experience and support me.

Command: Get-AppxPackage -allusers 7EE7776C.LinkedInforWindows | Remove-AppxPackage -allusers

Error message:

Remove-AppxPackage : Removal failed. Please contact your software vendor.

Hello @HUY DO QUANG

This error is usually due to execution issue related to access to the manifests of the application.

First, try a repair of the computer following: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/repair-a-windows-image?view=windows-11
Then clean up the WinSxS folder: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/clean-up-the-winsxs-folder
Then manually execute (with admin permissions): Get-AppxPackage linkedin | Remove-AppxPackage -allusers

Hope this helps with your query,

Try something like this:

$appname = "Application-DisplayName-goes-here"    # LinkedInForWindows maybe?

# get 64-bit software on 64-bit systems OR 32-bit software on 32-bit systems
[array]$32_or_64bitsoftware = get-itemproperty 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*'
# get 32-bit software ON 64-bit systems
[array]$32_on_64bitsoftware = get-itemproperty 'HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*'
[array]$32_AND_64bit = @()
# check for software in both locations
$32_AND_64bit = $32_or_64bitsoftware |
    Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -like "*$appname*" }
$32_AND_64bit += $32_on_64bitsoftware |
    Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -like "*$appname*" }                            
# was the app's display name found?        
if ($32_AND_64bit.count -eq 0) {
    "'$appname' was not found on this system"
    Write-Verbose "'$appname' was not found on this system"
}
else {
    # uninstall all versions of this software
    $32_AND_64bit |
        ForEach-Object{
            Start-Process $_.UninstallString -Wait
        }
}
