Uninstall a program in Windows 11
As in Windows 10, removing programs and applications in Windows 11 is a fairly simple task. You don’t need to store every installed application. You can uninstall any program in Windows 11 if you don’t need it anymore. It can be something you downloaded from the Internet or one of the standard operating system applications. We will analyze in this instruction how to remove programs, applications, and games in Windows 11 in different ways.
Note: From our own testing, it turned out that removing apps using the built-in Windows 11 options still carries the risk of leaving behind the remaining folders, files and registry entries. If you want to prevent this from happening, you still need to use a third-party uninstaller.
There are many third-party removal programs that can do the job, but we recommend using the following one as it has already been updated for Windows 11:
