The uninstall command of the winget tool uninstalls the specified application.
The uninstall command requires that you specify the exact string to uninstall. If there is any ambiguity, you will be prompted to further filter the uninstall command to an exact application.
Aliases
The following aliases are available for this command:
remove
rm
Usage
winget uninstall [[-q] <query>] [<options>]
Huomautus
When using WinGet to uninstall a package, you may encounter a Microsoft Store agreement. This is due to the way in which WinGet queries package manifest sources. If you prefer not to have the Microsoft Store policy popup when uninstalling, you can pass in --source winget to suppress the agreement. Alternatively, you can uninstall using Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features, finding the app you want to remove, and selecting More > Uninstall.
Arguments
The following arguments are available.

After you have successfully identified the application intended to uninstall, winget will execute the uninstall command. In the example below, the name 'orca' and the id was passed in.
Example queries
The following example uninstalls a specific version of an application.
If the query provided to winget does not result in a single application to uninstall, then winget will display multiple results. You can then use additional filters to refine the search for a correct application.
Uninstalling apps not installed with Windows Package Manager
As mentioned in list, the winget list command will display more than just apps installed with the winget. Therefore you can use these commands to quickly and easily remove apps from your PC.
In this example, list was used to find the application, and then the id was passed in as part of uninstall.
