The command should look like in the example below – again, you need to change the name parameter with the name of the program and also keep the quotes: wmic product where name=" name" call uninstall /nointeractive This means that should the removal process require your authorization before it starts, this step would automatically be skipped and the app uninstalling starts after hitting the enter key. The removal command can be further customized with the /nointeractive parameter to complete without any further input. Once the application is removed successfully, you should be able to see a message like in the screenshot below. Make sure you keep the quotes and write the name of the application exactly as it’s displayed after running the first command. What you need to change here is the name parameter marked in italic. The command is the following: wmic product where name=" name" call uninstall Since you know the name of the item that you want to uninstall, what you have to do next is to send the command that will actually uninstall it. Now you should see something that looks like in the screenshot below – these are the programs installed on your system, so when you use their name, make sure that you correctly type every single letter, including the caps. First, let’s see the list of the installed software (this means that only apps that were deployed with the Windows Installer would be displayed) – to do this, type the following command in the Cmd Prompt window you just launched: wmic product get name The next step involves finding the name of the program that you want to uninstall. You can just type cmd in the Start menu, right-click the result and hit the option that reads Run as administrator. Then, you need to launch Command Prompt with administrator privileges. Needless to say, standard users aren’t allowed to remove installed apps. But at the same time, power users relying on Command Prompt or those who want to create scripts to rapidly uninstall a specific Win32 application can do this by following the next steps.įirst and foremost, you must be logged in with an administrator account.
