If that is the case, you may run into issues the next time you want to install the same app as certain files will remain and cause instability. Let’s find out about Kodi and how is Kodi causing issues during the uninstalling process.
Uninstalling Kodi on Windows 10
Kodi (formerly XBMC) is a free and open-source media player software application developed by the XBMC Foundation, a non-profit technology consortium. It is available for use on multiple operating systems and it can be used with televisions and remote controls. It allows its users to play and stream most media such as videos, music, and podcasts from the Internet. It’s customizable and it allows different skins and plug-ins to be installed which can add new features. However, Windows 10 users have reported that uninstalling this program from their computers was a difficult process and they were unable to uninstall it properly. Find out how to uninstall it yourself by following the instructions below!
Solution 1: Use the Conventional Methods Through Control Panel or Settings
This is the first method you tried yourself but let’s try this again to make sure we tried to uninstall it the usual way. If this method helps you deal with Kodi-related error messages, you don’t have to continue with other solutions. This is also the easiest solution for casual users.
Solution 2: Use Windows PowerShell to Uninstall Kodi
Windows PowerShell is a powerful tool that can help you automate tasks using a command-line shell and a scripting language that was built using .NET Framework and .NET Core. It used to be exclusive to Windows but it was made open-source and now it’s available to all platforms. You can use PowerShell to uninstall various apps and you can even use it to delete preinstalled Windows Apps such as Photos, Video, Calculator, etc.
Solution 3: Remove the Add-ons
If the previous two solutions have failed and if you are still experiencing Kodi-related issues, please refer to the instructions below to also remove the add-ons before proceeding. If some of the Kodi add-ons remain, you may receive some Kodi-related error messages when in fact you have uninstalled it.
Solution 4: Use the Built-In Uninstaller
Follow the instructions related to this solution to use Kodi’s built-in uninstaller but also to remove the remaining files and registry entries after the process is over. Follow the instructions below carefully to remove Kodi completely from your Windows 10 PC. First of all, let’s make sure nothing related to Kodi is currently running on our computer as this may prevent the uninstallation process from running normally. After we have disabled Kodi from running on our computer during the uninstallation process, let’s proceed with the proper removal. After the uninstaller removes Kodi from your PC, it’s time to remove all of the related registry keys too. Let’s proceed with this process but first let’s make sure we back up our work, the original registry in case something goes wrong. Since our registry is backed up and safe, we can remove the Kodi registry entries by following the instructions below.
Solution 5: Use Advanced Uninstaller Pro to Remove Kodi
There are a lot of different uninstallers designed to replace the Control Panel and Settings as they often get unresponsive and they sometimes freeze in the middle of the uninstallation process. You don’t have to use this particular uninstaller but this one was able to help people who were dealing with this problem in particular and that is exactly why we recommend it. It will also get rid of the registry entries and app data for you if you will like you are not the man for that job or if you are a casual user.
