How to uninstall software in Windows 10?

I can't find the program I want to uninstall in the Control Panel or in third-party software on Windows 10. This didn't happen on Windows 7. I need a solution.

    Best Way: Install Winget 

     

    Once you have installed this 'Windows Package Manager', open a 'Terminal' and type in:

    - winget list --> This command lists you EVERY program up which is installed!

    Make sure you note down the exact ID of the programme you are looking for.
    - winget uninstall --id '7zip.7zip' --> And just like that, the programme's gone!

     

    That's all you need, really. Could you tell us what sort of programme you're working on?

    If you do not see the application in Control Panel, go to "Add or Remove a Program" in your windows settings and look through that list. If you do not see it in there, find the program in your C:\Program files or C:\Program Files (x86) and usually in there you will find a folder with the software you want to remove. Look through the files and see if there is an uninstall executable
