We want to remove a package from windows using winget.
Before uninstalling, list the package with the name.
There is two packages with the same name “WhatsApp Web”. But the Id and Version are different.
Use winget list to get all the installed packages.
Error on uninstall with specific version
Tried this
winget uninstall --name "WhatsApp Web" --version "1.0.0.0"
Got the following error
Multiple installed packages found matching input criteria. Please refine the input.
Error on uninstall with Id
Tried this
winget uninstall --name "WhatsApp Web" --id MSIX\web.whatsapp.com-6EC4871F_1.0.0.0_neutral__910631y4v73xw
Got the following error
No installed package found matching input criteria.
The Fix
We have to escape the backslash ()
winget uninstall --name "WhatsApp Web" --id MSIX\\web.whatsapp.com-6EC4871F_1.0.0.0_neutral__910631y4v73xw
Now its uninstalled successfully.
