How to uninstall programs on windows 11 that cannot be uninstalled
Some programs that don't appear in Windows'Settings or Control Panel still include their own uninstallers. These uninstallers are usually placed in the same folder where the program was originally installed. Running this built-in uninstaller often works better than relying on Windows' tools, especially for apps that register themselves poorly in the system.
Steps to uninstall apps on windows 11 that can't be uninstalled:
1. Open File Explorer by pressing Win + E.
2. Navigate to the folder where the program is installed (commonly found in:
C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files (x86)
or a custom location you chose during installation).
3. Look for an executable file named something like:
uninstall.exe
unins000.exe
4. Double-click the uninstaller file to run it.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to remove the program completely.
6. Restart your PC (optional, but recommended) to make sure the removal is finalized.
By doing this, you don't need any app uninstaller for Windows 11.
