How to uninstall Groove Music app in Windows 10 without PowerShell

This post was originally published on jcutrer.com (WordPress) and has been migrated to the archive.

Just like the built-in (/windows/uninstall-xbox-windows-10-ccleaner) on Windows 10, Microsoft provides no easy way to uninstall the Groove music app. There are tons of articles that use PowerShell to remove these built-in apps, the command looks like this.

Get-AppxPackage *zunemusic* | Remove-AppxPackage

In this article, I will show you an easier way using a tool you may already have installed. Ccleaner, a popular free software utility for Windows has useful tools built in including Uninstall. Ccleaner is free, if you don’t already have it you can download and install it from (https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner).

Here are the steps to uninstall the built-in Groove Music app in Windows 10.

- Launch **Ccleaner** and click on the **Tools** menu.
- Find and highlight the Groove Music app in the list of installed applications
- Click “**Uninstall**” and confirm.

That’s it! No PowerShell, no terminal windows, just point and click. :) You can use the same technique to uninstall other Windows 10 built-in apps including Xbox, MSN Money, MSN Weather, Bing Maps.  Do you have another technique you use to uninstall Windows 10 apps?  (#disqus_thread) or read more (/windows)
