There are multiple ways to go about uninstalling a program in Windows 10.
I will provide the 2 most common methods.

Method 1 – Apps & Features

1.) Navigate to the “Search Bar” and search for “Add or Remove Programs”.
If the search bar does not appear, open your “Start Menu” and it should appear.

2.) Select “Add or remove programs”

3.) Once the “Apps & features” window opens, scroll down to the program you wish to uninstall and click on the “Uninstall” button.
 

Note: If you receive a warning stating that “This app and its related info will be uninstalled”, click on the “Uninstall” button.

4.) Follow the uninstall instructions and wait for the uninstall to complete.
It may inform you once the uninstall has finished. Otherwise you can check the list of programs and if the program you just uninstalled is not there, it uninstalled successfully.
