The range of possibilities at the software level that we have available for our equipment is really great and we have an application for almost almost everything. This also integrates both the official pages and the Microsoft Store itself where we can install fully customized applications for Windows 10..

But we do not always need everything that we have installed in our equipment and it is that with so much program our PC can suffer speed or storage problems. The best thing is that if you don't need a program, uninstall it . When we want we will do the following process:

How to uninstall a program with CMD in Windows 10

Step 1

For this we access the command prompt as administrators and once there we will execute "wmic": image
Step 2

Wmic (Windows Management Instrumentation Console) is a system console with which we can manage both local and remote computers, as well as perform various support tasks such as generating information, starting, stopping, pausing processes and many more related to tasks administrative

Once we run wmic we will enter the following line to access details of the installed programs:

 product get name

Step 3

Now it will be necessary to use the following syntax:
 product where name = "Application" call uninstall 
Step 4

For example, we execute the following:
 product where name = "iCloud" call uninstall 
Step 5

When executing this, the following line will be displayed where the uninstallation path is, as we see a confirmation is requested for it since this is irreversible: image
Step 6

If we enter the letter N we will continue on the wmic line, but if we enter the letter Y the deletion of the selected program will be processed: image

With this simple method we can delete a program in Windows 10 but you must keep in mind to register the exact name of the program to be removed, otherwise it will not be possible to perform the action..
