Windows 11 contains a lot of universal applications. Usually, Microsoft does not allow you to uninstall them. But if you don't need them, the following two methods can help you uninstall them safely.
Method1. Uninstalling system apps From a Local User on Windows PC
You can delete applications from Windows-specific local accounts. The following are the main steps to uninstall a system program.
Step1. Run the Windows PowerShell
Click on Windows Start and type Windows PowerShell in the search box, find and open the matched item. Because you are using a local account, you do not need to run as an administrator.
Step2. Enter the command to uninstall system programs
After opening the PowerShell window, type the following command and press Enter. You will see all the downloaded applications and their package fullnames.
Get-AppxPackage | Select Name, PackageFullName
You can find the program you want to uninstall in the list of downloaded programs, then copy the program name. Use the command below to delete that app from a local user account.
Get-AppxPackage -user
Notice: Replace
After entering the command, hit the Enter key. Restart your computer when finished.
Windows PowerShell is a great tool to help you control your computer, but sometimes entering the wrong commands can cause computer errors and be too difficult to operate for computer novices. Instead of using Windows PowerShell, we recommend you use Wise Program Uninstaller.
Method2. Uninstalling system apps using Wise Program Uninstaller
