Security News > 2021 > April > Windows 10 package manager can now remove any app from the command line
The Windows 10 package manager is getting some new and exciting features that allow you to manage any installed applications directly from the command line.
Last year, Microsoft released a Windows 10 package manager called Winget that allows users to install popular apps from a curated repository managed by Microsoft.
The winget list is used to display a list of all programs installed in your operating system, while winget uninstall lets you remove any installed app, even those not previously installed, using the package manager.
As the Winget Windows Package Manager update is currently in preview, users need to join the Insider program to install it via the Microsoft Store or install it manually from the releases page.

For users who enjoy controlling their Windows 10 devices from the command line, these commands give you even more power over the operating system.
