In the above example, you can see one of them is for a program called VMware Tools.įind the program that is stuck in your program list and then right-click on it in the left-hand menu and choose Delete. You can easily identify the programs with the long identifier by just clicking on it and looking for DisplayName at the right. You’ll see quite a few entries listed, some of which have friendly names and some that have a really long identifier. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall Now navigate to the following registry key and expand it. To open the registry, click on Start and type in regedit. It requires some registry editing, so be sure to make a backup of your registry first in case you mess something up. A much safer way is using the programs unique identifying number.īelow I run the cmdlet again to see if CoffeeCup Free FTP is listed and this time nothing is returned.Luckily, there is an easy way to manually remove these stuck entries from the list. If you want to be certain you are uninstalling the correct program then using just the name may not be the best method. $application = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product -Filter "IdentifyingNumber = ''" $application = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product -Filter "Name = 'CoffeeCup Free FTP'"
So long as it returns a ReturnValue of 0 its successful. To uninstall an application we simply need to save the WMI object and call. Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product -Filter "Name = 'CoffeeCup Free FTP'" Note this wont list any Windows Apps which are installed. Running this cmdlet will produce a list of all installed applications. Listing all installed programs, checking to see if a program is installed by its name and uninstalling programs is super easy and efficient using PowerShell and the Get-WmiObject cmdlet.
