How to Uninstall a Program in Windows 11

Remove an application you no longer need.

Quick Answer

Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find the program, open its menu, and choose Uninstall.

Step by Step

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Select Apps.
  3. Select Installed apps.
  4. Find the application you want to remove.
  5. Open the menu beside the app.
  6. Choose Uninstall and follow the prompts.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Some built-in Windows apps cannot be removed normally.
  • Uninstalling a program may not remove every personal file or setting it created.
  • If an application has its own uninstaller, Windows may launch it during removal.
